Kolo DC: NL3 Apeldoorn

NL3 Apeldoorn is a data center operated by Kolo and located at Laan van de Ram 39, 7324 BW, Apeldoorn, Netherlands. Kolo publicly lists NL3 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 as KoloDC NL3, formerly associated with Serverius, at the same Apeldoorn address.

From a market and geographic standpoint, Apeldoorn offers separation from the Amsterdam core while remaining inside one of Europe’s most mature digital infrastructure markets. That makes NL3 relevant for organizations seeking Dutch colocation with geographic diversity, access to national and regional network ecosystems, and integration into Kolo’s wider Netherlands platform. Recent operational notices also show the site in active production use, including lifecycle upgrades to its UPS infrastructure.

🔐 Security & Compliance

1. I did not find a Kolo-published facility-specific technical page for NL3 Apeldoorn that clearly verifies on-site physical security controls such as CCTV, mantraps, badge systems, or named fire-suppression architecture.
2. Kolo’s Dutch platform is presented as enterprise colocation infrastructure, but I am not attributing platform-level security language as an NL3-only technical claim without a site-specific source.
3. As a facility in the Netherlands, hosted environments operate within an EU jurisdiction where GDPR is relevant. This is a jurisdictional statement, not a claimed certification.
