EdgeConneX Amsterdam EDCAMS05: Schiphol-Rijk Hyperscale Specs
Status: Operational | Location: Boeing Avenue 201-203, 1119 PD Schiphol-Rijk, Haarlemmermeer, The Netherlands
Project Overview
EdgeConneX EDCAMS05 is a purpose-built edge and hyperscale cloud data center located on Boeing Avenue in Schiphol-Rijk, Netherlands, forming part of EdgeConneX’s primary Amsterdam campus. The facility is designed to support the growing requirements of cloud service providers, network operators, content delivery networks, and other digital infrastructure customers that require high-density computing capacity combined with low-latency connectivity. Its strategic location within Schiphol-Rijk places EDCAMS05 inside the broader Amsterdam digital infrastructure corridor, providing proximity to major telecommunications networks, internet exchanges, cloud platforms, and enterprise markets. The facility operates using 100% renewable energy, supporting sustainable infrastructure objectives while helping customers reduce the carbon footprint associated with their digital deployments. EDCAMS05 is engineered for high-density power delivery, allowing customers to deploy modern computing environments that require greater electrical capacity and more sophisticated infrastructure than traditional enterprise workloads. Its edge-oriented architecture also enables workloads to be positioned closer to end users and major network interconnection points, helping reduce latency for applications such as cloud services, content delivery, digital media, and real-time enterprise platforms. A major advantage of the facility is its integration with the dense connectivity ecosystem surrounding the Schiphol digital corridor. Direct dark fiber interconnections provide access to important network and internet exchange environments, including AMS-IX and NL-IX, while connections to global public cloud nodes allow customers to establish efficient links between dedicated infrastructure and major cloud platforms. This combination of carrier connectivity, cloud access, and high-density infrastructure makes EDCAMS05 suitable for distributed digital architectures and demanding cloud deployments. By combining renewable energy, high-density power capabilities, edge positioning, and direct fiber access to Amsterdam’s major internet exchange and cloud ecosystems, EdgeConneX EDCAMS05 provides a scalable platform for hyperscale, cloud, CDN, and network workloads across the Netherlands and wider European market.
