AMS18 is Digital Realty's Amstel Business Park facility, where our hardware lives. The site sits inside Amsterdam's peering metro, with short cross-connects out to AMS-IX which moved over 35 exabytes of traffic last year across more than 900 connected networks. That density buys short paths across Europe and a deep choice of carriers if one provider stumbles. Latency is typically under 15 ms across Western Europe.
The facility is built to Uptime Institute Tier III specifications and audited annually against ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 50001, with SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 and PCI-DSS attestations on top. Power is N+1 and cooling 2N, with onsite diesel generators backing the grid feed.
