TransData AS: Meppel Data Center

The TransData AS Meppel Data Center is located at 10 Ketelskamp, 7942 KG Meppel, in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands. 

Operated by TransData AS, this facility offers colocation and data-centre services in a region emerging as a strategic digital-infrastructure node within the Netherlands. 

With lower network congestion, stable grid conditions and a favourable northern-Netherlands location, Meppel provides businesses with access to reliable infrastructure with good national and international connectivity.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The facility is reported to support approximately 1 MW of critical IT power capacity. 
• Cooling infrastructure includes a chilled-water system designed to maintain optimal environment conditions for the IT equipment. 
• Built on a site with lower grid stress compared with major metro areas, enabling more predictable power availability and expansion potential.
• Located in a relatively uncongested data-centre region of the Netherlands, which can offer operational cost advantages.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Physical security includes CCTV surveillance, 24×7 on-site personnel and biometric access controls.
• The facility supports standard enterprise-grade operations; however, publicly listed certification details (such as ISO 27001) are not available in the sources reviewed.
• The location benefits from Netherlands’ strong regulatory environment for data-centre operations and digital infrastructure reliability.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The Meppel data-centre site is in a region with good fibre connectivity, benefiting from Dutch network infrastructure and access to major national and international routes. 
• While the facility is described as having diverse fibre paths and multiple carriers, specific carrier lists and exchange-peering information are limited in publicly available sources. 
• The region’s lower network congestion and favourable latency to northern Europe make it a viable location for distributed infrastructure deployment, backup data-centres or less latency-critical workloads.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises and organisations seeking a colocation or outsourcing site in the Netherlands outside major metro centres, with reliable infrastructure and access to the Dutch digital ecosystem.
• Companies requiring a secondary or disaster-recovery location with good connectivity and lower-cost operational footprint.
• Managed-service providers, hosting companies and cloud-resellers looking for a data-centre footprint in Drenthe that offers scalability and access to broader Dutch network infrastructure.
• Organisations needing a data-centre in a regulated environment with Dutch/EU data-sovereignty assurances.
