Distributed 2N+1
Distributed 2N+1 electrical and mechanical design throughout. Every dependency has a backup, every backup has its own backup. No single fault path takes down a customer load.
[ The Hague Data Center ]
A regional data center built for serious workloads.
THG1 is the Data Facilities anchor facility — carrier-neutral colocation in The Hague, with native peering, three diverse fiber carriers and 20 kW per rack air-cooled density. Operated by the senior engineers who designed and built the underlying network, with a single accountable team from utility hand-off to customer port.

[ Positioning ]
Engineered for continuity.
THG1 is designed around what happens after the first hour of an outage, not just the first hour itself. Refueling contracts are in place with a four-hour delivery SLA. UPS modules are hot-swappable and stocked on-site. The electrical and mechanical design is distributed 2N+1 from the utility hand-off through to the cabinet.
The facility is operated by the team that owns the network. The senior engineers who designed the fabric are the same people on the phone when something needs hands — one team, one accountability line. Every dependency has a backup; every backup has its own backup.
3.50 MW gross. Distributed 2N+1 from the utility hand-off to the cabinet.
Phase 1 (1.75 MW) is built and live. Phase 2 adds another 1.75 MW, scheduled for completion in 2027. Capacity reservations available against the Phase 2 build.
Generators & refueling
Four on-site diesel generators, drilled monthly, with a refueling contract on a four-hour delivery SLA. Drill logs available on request as part of the audit cycle.
UPS & transfer
Three independent UPS clusters with hot-swappable modules. Three ATSes hand utility-to-genset cleanly under load. Battery banks stocked on-site, no off-site retrieval delay.
A+B feeds at the cabinet
Diverse A+B feeds to every cabinet, sourced from independent boards. Quarter-cabinet customers get the same redundancy topology as full-rack tenants.
Density support
Cabinet-level metering across the floor. Power profiles up to 20 kW air-cooled per cabinet. Capacity reservations available against the Phase 2 build for high-density deployments.
Audited
Power topology audited under the same compliance cycle as the rest of the facility. SOC 2 Type II evidence covers operational controls. Certificates available under NDA.
[ Cooling & Mechanical ]
Sized for 20 kW per cabinet air-cooled.
Sealed cold-aisle containment, room-level humidification active and maintained inside ASHRAE allowable, N+1 CRAC redundancy across the floor. A CRAC unit can be taken out for service without thermal impact.
Density profiles up to 20 kW per cabinet air-cooled. Direct liquid cooling is available on request for AI training nodes, high-density GPU clusters and sustained inference fleets.
Mechanical design is distributed 2N+1 alongside electrical — same posture, same redundancy class.
Diverse points of entry. Carriers in the room.
Connectivity starts at the property line. THG1 has multiple diverse fiber points of entry into the building, each landing in independent meet-me areas. Three carriers terminate inside; native peering and metro transport sit on every BareFABRIC port.
Diverse fiber points of entry
Multiple physically diverse fiber entries into the building, each routed to independent meet-me areas. A single excavation outside the property does not isolate the facility.
Carrier-neutral fiber
Three dark-fiber carriers terminate inside the building — Verizon, Eurofiber, Relined — on redundant paths each. Customers pick the carrier that fits their contract structure.
DF FiberBareFABRIC + DFIX
The Data Facilities access layer. Native DFIX peering and 14-facility metro fabric on every port, included. 100 G and 400 G ceilings, MTM by default.
See BareFABRICEyeball + AMS-IX
Eyeball reach via DFIX peering. AMS-IX wholesale through Netrouting AS6206 — a top-100 globally peered network in the same building as your port.
DF TransitMetro fabric
BareFABRIC ports light at THG1 and at thirteen other facilities across The Hague, Naaldwijk, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Same SKU, same SLA, same portal at every site.
API-first provisioning
Provision ports, configure VLANs, issue LOAs and enable route-server sessions through the portal or the OpenAPI 3.1 surface. Terraform provider on the v1.x roadmap.
Insurer-certified Class 4 security. Electrified perimeter. 24/7 monitored response.
The facility is certified to VRKI 2.0 Class 4 — the highest risk classification under the Dutch Association of Insurers' security framework. The plan is implemented by certified contractors and signed off by the property insurer before it takes effect.
Perimeter
Electrified perimeter fence with full surveillance coverage. Approach lanes and the fence line itself sit under overlapping CCTV with 24/7 monitoring at a certified alarm receiving centre.
Building envelope
External doors, walls, roof and any below-grade openings are hardened to the highest insurer-recognised resistance class — engineered to resist a determined attacker with portable power tools for a sustained period.
Intrusion detection
Top-tier intrusion detection across the perimeter, envelope and interior. The system is zoned — data halls, MMR, office and loading areas are independently armable and report independently. Sensor mix includes contact, motion, glass-break and seismic where appropriate.
Surveillance
Around-the-clock monitored CCTV with retention sufficient for forensic review. Coverage includes the perimeter, every entry point, internal corridors and white-space aisles.
Alarm transmission & response
Dual-path, supervised alarm transmission to a certified PAC, paired with a contracted private security response with guaranteed arrival times. Authority notification runs in parallel.
Access control
Multi-factor authentication at every door from the building entrance to the rack. Every access event is logged and retained. Visitors are pre-registered and escorted; contractor work follows a documented permit procedure.
Certificates current. Audited continuously.
All certifications below are current and made available to procurement and audit teams under NDA.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality management system. Process ownership, change management, continuous improvement — the operating discipline behind every other certification on this page.
ISO 27001:2022
Information security management system, current revision. Covers our control environment, risk treatment, supplier and access controls, and the audit trail behind them.
SOC 2 Type II
Independent attestation over operational controls for security, availability and confidentiality. Type II covers controls over a sustained period, not a snapshot.
VRKI 2.0 Class 4
Highest risk classification under the Dutch Association of Insurers' security framework. Plan implemented by certified contractors and signed off by the property insurer.

Walk the building. Bring your engineering team.
Tours are conducted by an operations engineer rather than an account manager. Bring the technical questions you would normally hold for the second meeting — engineering, security and procurement teams welcome on the same visit.
