Microsoft operates a data center campus in the Hollands Kroon area in the north of the Netherlands, close to its existing facility. The campus is located at Cultuurweg 11 in Middenmeer (Het Venster).

The data center site spans 14.4 hectares in the Agriport Business Park. The development consists of two independent buildings, AMS13 and AMS14, each housing five data halls. The cooling system design is based on a direct air system with an evaporation component, yielding an estimated PUE of 1.18. The site will include 40 3.3MW backup generators and two 1MW backup generators.

AMS13 Data center:

Office area: Two floors with office space and meeting rooms located on both floors, with a usable area of approximately 2,400 m².
Data hall: One floor with a usable area of approximately 11,750 m².

Operating Company

Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.

Azure Regions

An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.

With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.

Geographies

An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.

Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.

Availability Zones

Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
