Under Development: AMS8
Switch Datacenters Amsterdam 8 (AMS8) - Wholesale AI powerdense and sustainable datacenter located close to Rotterdam
Introducing our wholesale AI powerdense and sustainable datacenter
AMS8 site
Switch Datacenters AMS8 is located in Maasdijk in the Rotterdam area, a 35 MW IT power-dense datacenter. Construction is expected to start in 2026.
AMS8 is a power efficient site using our modular design of high-density power distribution and a hybrid combination of dry and air cooling facilitating flexible cooling options (liquid, air, hybrid), tailored to the latest AI specifications.
The design has both low PUE & WUE, is designed for green heat reuse and operates on 100% renewable energy.
