AMS4
Switch Datacenters Amsterdam 4 (AMS4) - Powerdense sustainable city datacenter located in the Municipality of Diemen
Introducing our power dense sustainable city datacenter
AMS4 site
AMS4 is a power dense sustainable city datacenter of 14MW IT opened in 2024. It is located right in the Amsterdam sweet spot, two miles from Science Park/AMS-IX and three miles from South-East, the area with the highest concentration of fiber and datacenters in Europe.
This datacenter was built by reusing the former steel structure, concrete slab and other materials, reducing its carbon footprint.
AMS4 is extremely power efficient because it uses our modular design of high-density power distribution together with a hybrid combination of dry and air cooling, facilitating flexible cooling options (liquid, air, hybrid).
The design has both low PUE and WUE, is designed for green heat re-use and operates on 100% renewable energy.
The site is on the fiber-route connecting FLAP-D markets Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
Current high level design specs
AMS4 Specifications
Design up to 14MW IT load
The facility is designed with the following modern power technologies to meet the highest datacenter requirements:
- Tier 3 UTI spec: modular capacity blocks, proven fast building concept, using respected brands
- Ultra efficient cooling units placed on the roof including heat recovery function for local heat network
- Incoming power: 2x 10 MVA
- Ultra low latency, full interconnectivity
All major global carriers are on-route or in the immediate vicinity. The datacenter will be connected on the Amsterdam fiber routes in order to interconnect easily and cost efficiently with any datacenter or (cloud)network and minimal latency.
Current high level design specs assumptions:
| Total Surface | 7,400 m² |
| White space | 4,400 m² |
- Office and storage space 5.5m distance to next building sprinklers on exterior
- Electrified and alarmed fence around building
