Amsterdam - a digital mainport and tech hub

Amsterdam is renowned for its innovation and fintech services, having created one of the world’s first central banks and being home to the world’s second largest data transport hub, the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX).  
 
Amsterdam is also one of the key data center markets, with DataCenterMap currently listing 67 data centers in Amsterdam alone and 157 in the Netherlands overall. 

Internet access is particularly important in the Netherlands because it is well-positioned as a worldwide data distribution hub. Data centers employ more than 10,000 FTE (direct and indirect). But they are also critical to the 109,000 jobs in the tech hub and 2.1 million jobs in the digital economy.  
 
From a point of view of connectivity, CloudScene notes that the Amsterdam market includes 152 colocation providers, 745 connectivity providers, 152 hosting and cloud providers, and 178 managed services providers. So, high-quality bandwidth is critical.

• The Dutch data center sector has already greened 86% of their energy needs 
• Data centers are drivers of green energy projects such as wind farms 
• Residual heat from data centers is very suitable for local heat infrastructure: energy is used twice 
• This sector is almost completely emission-free 
• Dutch data center sector in top 5 in terms of energy-saving measures 
• The water consumption by data centers is only 0.088% of the total consumption in the Netherlands
