IP & bandwidth, native
The fabric is built around peering. Native DFIX peering and metro transport on every BareFABRIC port; Tier-1 + Tier-2 transit one cross-connect away. Connectivity is a first-class colocation service, not an afterthought.
[ About Data Facilities ]
Operating digital infrastructure since 2012.
Data Facilities operates THG1 in The Hague — a 3.50 MW carrier-neutral colocation site at the heart of the Dutch metro. Run by network engineers, audited continuously, designed for the second day of an outage.

[ Our story ]
Building trust through excellence.
Data Facilities was founded in 2012 with the acquisition of a former EDS HP data center in Spijkenisse, retrofitted from the ground up for modern colocation. From that first site we set out to do colocation differently: engineer-led, single-site focused, audit-ready by design.
What differentiates the facility is not the hardware — it is the operational posture. Every facility decision, contract and audit cycle is owned by the same engineering team that operates the network and takes the on-call phone. No first-line ticket queue between the customer and the engineers who can resolve the issue.
Today the focus is THG1, our anchor facility in The Hague: 3.50 MW gross capacity, distributed 2N+1 throughout, sealed cold-aisle, VRKI 2.0 Class 4 secure. Phase 1 (1.75 MW) is built and live. Phase 2 (+1.75 MW) is scheduled for 2027. We grow against demand, not ahead of it.
Building the foundation for tomorrow's digital economy.
To empower businesses of all sizes with enterprise-grade infrastructure that is reliable, secure, scalable and sustainable — so they can focus on what they do best while we handle the critical infrastructure underneath.
We believe that every business deserves access to operator-grade infrastructure. Our work is to make that infrastructure accessible, accountable and audit-ready — for engineering teams of every size.
Four principles that decide what we say yes and no to.
They are evident in the hardware choices, the contract structure and the operational runbook — not laminated on a wall.
Security by design
VRKI 2.0 Class 4, RC4 / NEN-EN 1627 doors, EN 50131 Grade 4 detection, dual-path supervised alarm transmission. The security plan is insurer-signed before it takes effect — not a self-declared spec.
Scalability with discipline
3.50 MW gross at full build. Phase 1 lives today; Phase 2 scheduled for 2027. We do not over-build for vanity capacity — we add capacity against committed demand and against signed reservations.
Sustainability by design
Renewable-energy sourced, sealed cold-aisle for cooling efficiency, mechanical design distributed 2N+1 alongside electrical — capacity is sized to load, not over-provisioned for show. Reporting available under NDA.
A focused operator, not a real-estate vehicle.

2025
Phase 1 complete
THG1 Phase 1 build completes — 1.75 MW live, sealed cold-aisle, distributed 2N+1, ready for tenants. ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 renewed in August; SOC 2 Type II audit window closes in November.

2026
VRKI 2.0 Class 4
DFDC is certified to VRKI 2.0 Class 4 — the highest risk classification under the Dutch Association of Insurers' security framework — on the back of the Phase 1 build. BareFABRIC publicly launches.

2027
Phase 2
THG1 Phase 2 brings the build to 3.50 MW gross. Capacity reservations open today against the Phase 2 envelope.
How we operate.
Reliability, trust, excellence — values are easy to print. These are the ones we apply when a contract clause or a runbook step is genuinely ambiguous.
Customer first
Solutions matched to the client's operational goals, not to our internal sales mix.
Dependability
Delivering consistent, reliable services businesses can plan around.
Adaptability
Staying flexible to market shifts with agile, scalable offerings.
Partnership
Building strong collaborations with customers, partners and the wider ecosystem.
Sustainability
Embracing eco-friendly and responsible practices end-to-end.
Innovation
Advancing with the technologies that make a measurable difference.
Excellence
Maintaining the highest standards — in audit, in operations, in customer experience.
Security
Protecting data and systems with robust, audited safeguards.
Transparency
Acting with integrity, clarity and accountability — in pricing, in reporting, in incidents.
Engineered to perform without compromising the environment.
Data centres are energy-intensive by definition. The work is to make every kilowatt productive and to source it responsibly. Reporting is available to procurement teams under NDA.
All facility power sourced from clean, renewable supply.
Reduction in PUE over the original retrofit baseline through cold-aisle containment + N+1 CRAC tuning.
Water-use reduction relative to a chilled-water comparable, via the cooling design choice.
Targeting LEED Gold for the Phase 2 build using sustainable materials and practices.
