Distributed 2N+1
Distributed 2N+1 electrical and mechanical design throughout. Every dependency has a backup, every backup has its own backup. No single fault path can disable a customer load.
[ The Hague Data Center ]
A regional data center built for serious workloads.
THG1 is the Data Facilities anchor facility — carrier-neutral colocation in The Hague, with native peering, seven diverse fiber carriers and 20 kW per rack air-cooled density. Operated by the senior engineers who designed and built the underlying network, with a single accountable team from utility hand-off to customer port.

[ Positioning ]
Engineered for continuity.
THG1 is engineered for sustained operation beyond the first hour of an outage, not only the first hour itself. Refueling contracts are in place with a four-hour delivery SLA. UPS modules are hot-swappable and stocked on-site. The electrical and mechanical design is distributed 2N+1 from the utility hand-off through to the cabinet.
The facility is operated by the team that owns the network. The senior engineers who designed the fabric also provide hands-on response — one team, one accountability line. Every dependency has a backup; every backup has its own backup.
3.50 MW gross. Distributed 2N+1 from the utility hand-off to the cabinet.
Phase 1 (1.75 MW) is built and live. Phase 2 adds another 1.75 MW, scheduled for completion in 2027. Capacity reservations available against the Phase 2 build.
Generators & refueling
Four on-site diesel generators, drilled monthly, with a refueling contract on a four-hour delivery SLA. Drill logs available on request as part of the audit cycle.
UPS & transfer
Three independent UPS clusters with hot-swappable modules. Four ATSes hand utility-to-genset cleanly under load. Battery banks stocked on-site, no off-site retrieval delay.
A+B feeds at the cabinet
Diverse A+B feeds to every cabinet, sourced from independent boards. Quarter-cabinet customers get the same redundancy topology as full-rack tenants.
Density support
Cabinet-level metering across the floor. Power profiles up to 20 kW air-cooled per cabinet. Capacity reservations available against the Phase 2 build for high-density deployments.
Audited
Power topology audited under the same compliance cycle as the rest of the facility. SOC 2 Type II evidence covers operational controls. Certificates available under NDA.
[ Cooling & Mechanical ]
Sized for 20 kW per cabinet air-cooled.
Sealed cold-aisle containment, room-level humidification active and maintained inside ASHRAE allowable, N+1 CRAC redundancy across the floor. A CRAC unit can be taken out for service without thermal impact.
Density profiles up to 20 kW per cabinet air-cooled. Direct liquid cooling is available on request for AI training nodes, high-density GPU clusters and sustained inference fleets.
Mechanical design is distributed 2N+1 alongside electrical — same posture, same redundancy class.
Diverse points of entry. Carriers in the room.
Connectivity starts at the property line. THG1 has multiple diverse fiber points of entry into the building, each landing in independent meet-me areas. Seven carriers terminate inside; native peering and metro transport sit on every BareFABRIC port.
Diverse fiber points of entry
Multiple physically diverse fiber entries into the building, each routed to independent meet-me areas. A single excavation outside the property does not isolate the facility.
Carrier-neutral fiber
Seven dark-fiber carriers terminate inside the building — Verizon, Eurofiber, Relined, AFiber, DataFiber, KPN and Odido — on redundant paths each. Customers pick the carrier that fits their contract structure.
DF FiberBareFABRIC + Peering
The Data Facilities access layer. Native peering and 14-facility metro fabric on every port, included. 100 G and 400 G ceilings, MTM by default.
See BareFABRICEyeball + AMS-IX
Eyeball reach via peering. AMS-IX is reachable through partners in the building.
Internet PortMetro fabric
BareFABRIC ports light at THG1 and at thirteen other facilities across The Hague, Naaldwijk, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Same SKU, same SLA, same portal at every site.
API-first provisioning
Provision ports, configure VLANs, issue LOAs and enable route-server sessions through the portal or the OpenAPI 3.1 surface. Terraform provider on the v1.x roadmap.
Security built to the highest standards.
The facility is certified to VRKI 2.0 Class 4 — the highest risk classification in the VRKI framework.
Perimeter
Electrified perimeter fence with full surveillance coverage. Approach lanes and the fence line itself sit under overlapping CCTV with 24/7 monitoring at a certified alarm receiving center.
Building envelope
External doors, walls, roof and any below-grade openings are hardened — engineered to resist a determined attacker with portable power tools for a sustained period.
Intrusion detection
Top-tier intrusion detection across the perimeter, envelope and interior. The system is zoned — data halls, MMR, office and loading areas are independently armable and report independently. Sensor mix includes contact, motion, glass-break and seismic where appropriate.
Surveillance
Around-the-clock monitored CCTV with retention sufficient for forensic review. Coverage includes the perimeter, every entry point, internal corridors and white-space aisles.
Alarm transmission & response
Dual-path, supervised alarm transmission to a certified PAC, paired with a contracted private security response with guaranteed arrival times. Authority notification runs in parallel.
Access control
Multi-factor authentication at every door from the building entrance to the rack. Every access event is logged and retained. Visitors are pre-registered and escorted; contractor work follows a documented permit procedure.
Certificates current. Audited continuously.
All certifications below are current and made available to procurement and audit teams under NDA.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality management system. Process ownership, change management and continuous improvement — the operating discipline underlying every other certification listed here.
ISO 27001:2022
Information security management system, current revision. Covers our control environment, risk treatment, supplier and access controls, and the audit trail behind them.
SOC 2 Type II
Independent attestation over operational controls for security, availability and confidentiality. Type II covers controls over a sustained period, not a snapshot.
VRKI 2.0 Class 4
The physical-security build is certified at Class 4, the highest classification in the VRKI 2.0 framework.

[ Schedule ]
Tour the building with your engineering team.
Tours are conducted by an operations engineer rather than an account manager. Technical questions ordinarily reserved for a second meeting can be raised on the first visit — engineering, security and procurement teams are accommodated on the same visit.
