What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Power constraints are causing capacity shifts away from Amsterdam, affecting Equinix and the FLAP-D interconnection group. While Amsterdam remains a top European data center hub, the infrastructure is increasingly determining where new capacity can be built. This market trend is leading to a more geographically dispersed Dutch data center market.
