The company expects to employ 150 people in a wide range of areas, including IT, engineering, and security. The facility will also be environmentally friendly.
The new Dutch data centre will benefit from the latest designs in cooling and electrical technology," Google's head of data center community relations for Europe wrote in the blog post.

Google has invested significantly in data centers across Europe over the last several years. The company opened its first European data center in 2007 and has since brought on several more. The Dutch data center will be the fourth in the company's line of "hyper-efficient" facilities.
