STACK Infrastructure AMS3 Amsterdam Data Center Campus: Hyperscale AI Hub
Status: Planned / Under Development | Location: Strategic Hyperscale Corridor, Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, Netherlands
Project Overview
STACK Infrastructure’s AMS3 Data Center Campus is a hyperscale digital infrastructure facility designed to support the growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance digital workloads within the Amsterdam FLAP market. Developed under STACK’s HYPERSTACK framework, AMS3 is engineered with flexible power and cooling architectures that enable scalable deployments for hyperscale operators, technology companies, and enterprises requiring advanced computing environments. The campus is built to accommodate next-generation workloads, including generative AI applications and GPU-intensive processing, with infrastructure readiness for high-density rack deployments and advanced cooling solutions such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Powered by 100% renewable grid energy, AMS3 combines high-performance computing capabilities with sustainable operational practices, helping customers achieve their environmental and efficiency objectives. Strategically located within one of Europe’s most important digital connectivity hubs, the facility provides direct access to Amsterdam’s extensive dark fiber networks and major internet exchange ecosystems, including AMS-IX and NL-IX. This connectivity enables ultra-low latency communication between cloud platforms, enterprises, and global digital networks across Europe and beyond. With its scalable design, renewable energy foundation, advanced cooling capabilities, and strategic position in the Amsterdam data center market, STACK Infrastructure’s AMS3 Campus represents a future-ready platform for hyperscale cloud growth and AI-driven digital transformation.
