Country Comparison

Ireland vs Netherlands

Ireland and the Netherlands are Europe's two largest hyperscaler concentration points. Ireland — particularly Dublin — has attracted Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon through favorable corporate tax rates and EU market access. The Netherlands, anchored by Amsterdam and AMS-IX, is one of the world's largest internet exchange hubs and a preferred colocation market. Both countries face power grid constraints that are shaping the next phase of AI data center expansion in Europe.
