According to the company, the purchase of the new cabinet space facilitates the growth of Infonet Nederland.
"The maximum capacity of the data centers of Infonet Nederland was almost in sight," Joost Peters, Vice President Data Center Services Infonet Nederland, said. "For this reason, we decided to buy an external data center capacity for the short and medium term in order to be able to facilitate our further growth."
The choice for the Dutch carrier-neutral data center, which operates climate-neutrally, is largely thanks to the available space and the electrical capacity within EvoSwitch.
"In our search for a suitable data center in and around Amsterdam it emerged that EvoSwitch was one of the few parties that had sufficient space available and was able to fulfill our specific electrical capacity requirements," Peters said.
The electricity used within EvoSwitch is Zeeuws Groen, green electricity that is generated in the Dutch province of Zeeland. In addition, EvoSwitch claims to achieve energy savings of at least 20 percent thanks to investments in energy-efficient cooling.
"We are convinced that the green character of the data center will appeal to some of our customers," Peters said.
Infonet Nederland was particularly impressed by the thorough technical knowledge which is present company-wide throughout the EvoSwitch organisation.
"The technical realization of EvoSwitch clearly demonstrates considerable experience. It was remarkable that even the Financial Director could supply us with technical knowledge concerning the technique and the specifications," Peters said. "The whole operation gave us confidence concerning the realisation of our company aims and the mutual collaboration between EvoSwitch and Infonet Nederland."
