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. "It will be free-cooled--taking advantage of natural assets like cool air and grey water to keep our servers cool.
