Kolo DC: NL2 Meppel

NL2 Meppel is a data center operated by Kolo and located at Ketelskamp 10, 7942 KG, Meppel, Netherlands. Kolo publicly lists NL2 as one of its four Dutch facilities, and the Dutch Data Center Association states that Kolo’s Netherlands sites are interconnected and provide access to a broad network of carriers, exchanges, and hybrid cloud platforms. PeeringDB also lists the site under KoloDC / Serverius at the same Meppel address.

From a market and location perspective, Meppel sits outside the Amsterdam core while remaining inside the Netherlands’ mature digital infrastructure market. That makes NL2 relevant for organizations seeking Dutch colocation with geographic separation from the main Randstad concentration, while still benefiting from domestic interconnection and access to national and international connectivity ecosystems. This positioning is supported by Kolo’s Dutch platform description and by recent operational references that show NL2 functioning as an active production site within Kolo’s current Netherlands footprint.
