In 2019, Equinix acquired the AMS1 facility from Switch Datacenters for €30 million in cash, rebranding it as Equinix AM11. At the time of acquisition, 250 of the 700 available cabinets were already leased, and the site offered scalable potential to accommodate up to approximately 1,300 cabinets.
Located in the Amsterdam Southeast business district, the facility spans 8,320 m² (89,555 ft²) and includes a fully built-out whitespace of 1,733 m². It features raised flooring, 2N UPS redundancy with a distributed MDL-PDU system, N+1 cooling redundancy using an adiabatic air-cooling system with free cooling (IDEC), and 2N standby power rated at 3,100 kVA. Designed to support high-density power configurations, the site operates with a low PUE of 1.27 and uses 100% green electricity for sustainable performance.
