Schuberg Philis Boeing Avenue Data Center: Schiphol-Rijk Specs

Status: Operational | Location: Boeing Avenue 271, 1119 PD Schiphol-Rijk, Haarlemmermeer, The Netherlands

Project Overview

The Schuberg Philis Schiphol-Rijk Data Center is the primary operational headquarters and private mission-critical hosting facility of Schuberg Philis B.V., located on Boeing Avenue within the Schiphol-Rijk business park near Amsterdam, Netherlands. The facility is designed to support highly critical enterprise environments where continuous availability, operational resilience, and strict compliance requirements are essential. Its customer base includes organizations operating in financial services, critical infrastructure, and other highly regulated sectors that depend on reliable IT systems for core business operations. A central element of the facility’s design philosophy is its focus on achieving 100% functional availability, supported by a resilient infrastructure architecture designed to minimize the risk of service interruptions. The data center incorporates fully redundant N+N and 2N power and cooling configurations, providing independent capacity and multiple layers of redundancy across critical infrastructure systems. This architecture enables maintenance and equipment replacement activities to be carried out while maintaining operational continuity for mission-critical workloads. The facility also operates using 100% renewable energy, supporting Schuberg Philis’s sustainability objectives while helping customers reduce the environmental impact of their hosted infrastructure. Its strategic location within Schiphol-Rijk places the data center close to Amsterdam’s major commercial, transportation, telecommunications, and digital infrastructure ecosystems. The facility is directly integrated into Amsterdam’s core optical network ring, enabling high-speed and resilient connectivity to regional enterprises, network operators, cloud platforms, and other digital infrastructure nodes. This connectivity is particularly valuable for organizations requiring low-latency communication and secure access to distributed IT environments. By combining highly resilient power and cooling systems, renewable energy sourcing, mission-critical hosting capabilities, and direct integration with Amsterdam’s optical network infrastructure, the Schuberg Philis Schiphol-Rijk Data Center provides a specialized platform for organizations with stringent availability, security, and compliance requirements across the Netherlands and wider European market.
