The company runs three operational sites (AMS2 Woerden, AMS3 Amsterdam South East, AMS4 Diemen) and has six additional facilities under development, including its first location outside the Netherlands at Mory in the greater Warsaw region of Poland.

In July 2026 it signed a heat-reuse agreement with the Municipality of Uithoorn and greenhouse operators in the De Kwakel-Kudelstaart area to warm greenhouses using datacenter waste heat. It also markets zero-water-cooling designs and modular platform delivery aimed at AI training and inference workloads.\n\nSwitch Datacenters is a private company; ownership and detailed capacity figures are not publicly disclosed on its own site. The corporate footprint is small relative to its build pipeline, with LinkedIn listing 11 to 50 employees.","status":null,"founded":2015,"hq":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","hqLat":null,"hqLng":null,"hqGeocodedAt":null,"hqAddress":null,"hqPrecision":null,"website":null,"fundingTotal":null,"type":"hardware","roles":[],"reviewStatus":"reviewed","lifecycleState":"active","supersededByCompanyId":null,"sources":[{"url":"https://switchdatacenters.com/","name":"Switch Datacenters","title":"Switch Datacenters"},{"url":"https://switchdatacenters.com","date":"2026-08-27","title":"Switch Datacenters homepage (portfolio, HQ, sustainability positioning)","publisher":"Switch Datacenters"},{"url":"https://switchdatacenters.com/news/","date":"2026-07-21","title":"Switch Datacenters newsroom (Uithoorn heat-reuse deal, modular delivery)","publisher":"Switch Datacenters"},{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/company/switch-datacenters","title":"Switch Datacenters LinkedIn company page (employee band, HQ)","publisher":"LinkedIn"}],"keyFacts":[{"label":"WAW1 capacity","value":"90 MW"},{"label":"HQ","value":"Amsterdam, Netherlands"},{"label":"Capacity","value":"~450 MW operational"},{"label":"Pipeline","value":"1,000+ MW European"},{"label":"Founded","value":"2009"},{"label":"Headquarters","value":"Polanerbaan 1, 3447 GN Woerden, Netherlands","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Operator scale","value":"9 datacenter locations announced: 3 operational, 6 under development","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Operational facilities","value":"AMS2 (Woerden), AMS3 (Amsterdam South East), AMS4 (Diemen)","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Development pipeline","value":"AMS5 (Amsterdam), AMS6 (Schiphol-Rijk), AMS7 (Haarlemmerliede), AMS8 (Westland/Rotterdam), plus WAW1 (Mory, greater Warsaw, Poland)","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Geographic footprint","value":"Primarily Netherlands (Amsterdam metro), with first international site under development in Poland","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Ownership","value":"Privately held; no public parent or PE sponsor disclosed on company site","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Employee count","value":"11 to 50 employees per LinkedIn company page","sourceUrl":"https://www.linkedin.com/company/switch-datacenters"},{"label":"Sustainability positioning","value":"Markets zero-water cooling, renewable-energy sourcing, low-carbon construction materials, and heat reuse","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Heat reuse deal","value":"Signed agreement 21 July 2026 with Municipality of Uithoorn and De Kwakel-Kudelstaart greenhouse growers to supply waste heat","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com/news/"},{"label":"Build approach","value":"Modular platform delivery targeting AI workloads and grid-constrained Dutch permitting environment","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com/news/"},{"label":"Operating history","value":"Company markets 15+ years of datacenter operations experience","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"},{"label":"Total portfolio capacity","value":"Not publicly disclosed on company site as of August 2026","sourceUrl":"https://switchdatacenters.com"}],"aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"low","reviewNote":null,"atsProvider":null,"atsSlug":null,"factoryLocations":null,"manufacturingCapacity":null,"orgType":null,"burnSignal":null,"litigationEvents":null,"insurancePostureDisclosed":null,"unitEconomicsDisclosed":null,"tickerSymbol":null,"stockExchange":null,"secCik":null,"revenueUsd":null,"revenueBasis":null,"revenueAsOf":null,"employeeCount":null,"employeeCountBasis":null,"employeeCountAsOf":null,"marketCapUsd":null,"marketCapAsOf":null,"marketCapSource":null,"createdAt":"2026-08-27T18:45:45.106Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-27T21:46:16.230Z","jsonLd":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Organization","@id":"https://registry.deploy.report/companies/switch-datacenters","url":"https://registry.deploy.report/companies/switch-datacenters","name":"Switch Datacenters","description":"Switch Datacenters is a Dutch colocation and wholesale datacenter operator headquartered in Woerden, Netherlands, with a portfolio concentrated in the Amsterdam metro.
