Nikhef is the Dutch institute for fundamental research in the field of subatomic physics. As a non-profit, neutral and independent organization Nikhef has also a long tradition in the development of the internet. Nikhef commits itself to playing a role in improving the infrastructure of the internet.

This gave rise to Nikhef Housing, a datacenter with focus on connectivity. Nikhef Housing is one of the largest Internet hubs in Europe and home to more than 200 parties, including the largest internet exchange AMS-IX, and other internet exchanges NL-IX, ND-IX, as well as telecom operators, carriers, internet service providers and DNS servers. In fact Nikhef Housing operates as one large meet-me-room.

Nikhef Housing is an AMS-IX certified modern, reliable, energy efficient (PUE 1.3) and environmentally friendly data center. Nikhef Housing is powered by 100% green electricity (>1 MW) and reuses 50% of its waste heat for heating of student housing (DUWO 1 and 2), Amsterdam University College (AUC) and our own building, all at Amsterdam Science Park.
