InterRacks: Hengelo Data Center

The Hengelo Data Center, operated by InterRacks CV / InterDC, is located at Sherwood Rangers 1, 7551 KW Hengelo, Overijssel, The Netherlands. As part of the InterDC portfolio (which includes facilities in Doetinchem, Enschede, and Hengelo) , this facility strengthens the company’s footprint in the eastern Netherlands and serves as a strategic regional hub or fallback data center option for customers in that area 

Its location in Hengelo offers close proximity to regional business centers and connectivity to the greater Dutch and European fiber networks. The facility benefits from connectivity to local exchanges such as ENS-IX and ERA-IX, enabling robust interconnection options within the region.
