Designed to meet specific requirements
Some clients need larger dedicated data centers or have specific requirements for their data center which require tailored solutions. Green Mountain offers build-to-suit data center options designed to meet such specific requirements. Our team of experts use a project management framework designed to secure all deliverables from early planning to fully operation data center. You can read more about our design team, build and implement methodology and operations.
We have custom built data centers for several large clients to match their specific needs. By using prefabricated modules, the full construction phase can be as short as 6 months.
Moreover, our custom builds are not restricted to our current sites only. We have a portfolio of planned sites that can match the requirements of larger clients very well. However, if we don’t currently have the perfect site for you, we are happy to assist you in exploring other options to find the best fit.
Build-to-Suit Data Center for TikTok
In March 2023, Green Mountain announced OSL‑Hamar, Norway’s and likely Europe’s largest colocation data center, developed as a single‑tenant site for TikTok. The campus is designed to accommodate up to five 30 MW buildings. The initial agreement covered three buildings and 90 MW, with the option to scale up to 150 MW.
The project was delivered using a modular, scalable design to meet strict requirements for timelines, quality, and sustainability. Each building provides 6,000 sqm of IT space across three floors, is built to Tier III standards with a target PUE of 1.2, and features redundant cooling, dual grid supply, and advanced physical security. The modular approach enabled flexibility, efficient logistics, and the ability to scale capacity in line with the client’s needs.
By using this method, we were able to accelerate the process for the second and third buildings, based on the learnings from building 1. Very few, if any, European colocation companies have managed to construct 90 MW of data center capacity from scratch in such a short timeframe.
The first building was officially handed over in November 2023.
This data center site is a key element in their project Clover, a program focused on creating a secure enclave for European TikTok user data. Delivering this data center on time was vital to their project’s progress.
