Kolo DC: NL1 Dronten

NL1 Dronten is a data center operated by Kolo and located in Dronten, in the province of Flevoland, Netherlands. Kolo presents the facility as part of its Western European platform, positioned outside the Amsterdam metro while still benefiting from proximity to one of Europe’s largest digital and connectivity hubs. Dronten’s location offers access to the Randstad economic region—including Amsterdam, Almere, and Utrecht—while providing geographic separation from dense urban clusters, supporting resilience and disaster recovery strategies.
