Equinix AM3/AM4 Amsterdam: resilient, energy efficient data centre
Project facts
- LocationAmsterdam Science Park, the Netherlands
- SolutionHaskoning worked closely with Equinix and partners to design and deliver a state-of-the-art, award-winning facility. The campus integrates resilient power and cooling systems, efficient white space, and is engineered for scalability and outstanding energy efficiency.
- ChallengeDeliver a landmark data centre campus in the heart of Amsterdam that combined resilience, scalability, and client-specific requirements with high energy efficiency.
Amsterdam is recognised as one of the world’s leading hubs for data centre development. Standing on the skyline terrace at more than 70 metres high, AM3/AM4 campus is a striking new landmark right in the heart of the city. Designed for resilience and efficiency, it offers a broad range of network services while connecting businesses directly to the digital edge.
We are delighted to be opening our newest, state-of-the-art data centre in Amsterdam. Following the success of the international- award winning AM3 data centre, AM4 delivers an upgrade both in terms of resilience and energy efficiency. With the full commitment of Haskoning we succeeded in delivering a new data centre which meets the specific requirements of our clients.
Scalable, resilient, and built for performance
The facility accommodates 7,200 cabinets across an area the size of three football pitches. By reducing the distance between services and users, the AM3/AM4 campus enhances workload performance, delivering both scalability and speed for today’s digital enterprises.High-quality white space, reliable power and efficient cooling make AM3/AM4 a truly flexible, resilient data centre. It achieves outstanding energy efficiency targets.
“The AM3/AM4 campus is unique, complementing its surroundings. The ratios of building height to heavy loads presented exactly the kind of challenge we not only relish but excel at, and we are very proud to have supported Equinix in this exciting project. We worked closely with Equinix and other partners throughout the process, and the result is a truly impressive, flexible data centre. High-quality white space areas are supplied by reliable, highly efficient power and cooling facilities, ensuring not only outstanding service to clients but also exceptional energy efficiency,” remarked Martien Arts, Director of Mission Critical Facilities at Haskoning.
