Hosted in a serious European datacenter. Built for the long term.
Our Mac minis live in a Tier III datacenter in the Netherlands. Redundant power, redundant cooling, redundant network — and humans on site 24/7. 100% renewable energy, PUE consistently below 1.2, and ISO 27001-certified operations across Amsterdam, Naaldwijk and Frankfurt.

ISO/IEC 27001 — certified by TÜV NORD
Our information security management system is independently audited and certified. Certificate no. CERT-001474-TN.
Every Mac mini is mounted in custom 1U trays inside our private cages — colour-coded cabling, redundant A+B power feeds and out-of-band management on every node.
Redundant N+1 cooling and 2N power topology
Carrier-neutral peering across AMS-IX, NL-IX and DE-CIX
24/7 on-site remote hands and physical security
Our commitment
Responsible technology, by design.
Sustainability isn't a marketing line — it's baked into how we pick partners, design infrastructure and run the company.
Environmentally conscious
vBoxx is built as a socially responsible business — we measure our impact on society and the planet, not just the balance sheet.
Green infrastructure
We only partner with suppliers that share our sustainable values, and continuously replace hardware with more efficient equipment.
Paperless & circular
Paperless procedures across the company. End-of-life Macs are repurposed or recycled under Dutch and EU regulations.
How we do it
Four pillars of energy-efficient hosting.
From the electrons that power our racks to the building that houses them — every layer is engineered to use less.
100% green energy
Your Mac is hosted in climate-neutral facilities — among the first carbon-neutral datacenters in the Netherlands. Wind, hydro and biomass power every rack.
Powered by wind, hydro and biomass
Climate-neutral EU datacenters
Zero fossil-fuel baseline electricity
Efficient Apple silicon
Apple silicon is already one of the most power-efficient compute platforms on the market. We amplify that with tight capacity planning and constant hardware revisions.
Mac mini M4 draws ~7W idle, ~50W under load
Right-sized workloads — no idle overprovisioning
Continuous hardware revisions for efficiency
Low PUE cooling
Power Usage Effectiveness is the ratio of total facility energy to energy delivered to compute. Free-air and adiabatic cooling keep ours consistently below 1.2.
Free cooling for >80% of the year
Indirect adiabatic cooling loops
PUE consistently below 1.2
Building Management System
A BMS optimises energy consumption across the entire facility — cooling, lighting and power distribution — so nothing runs harder than it needs to.
Advanced data floor management
Lighting linked to movement sensors
Modular build-out to minimise power overhead
Climate-neutral hosting
Half the energy of a typical datacenter.
Your Mac is hosted in a climate-neutral datacenter, where green energy is used exclusively. Thanks to highly advanced cooling systems, only half the energy of a typical datacenter is needed to keep your workloads running.
We actively control company car emissions, minimise office paper, and continuously refine our green hosting policies alongside our datacenter partners.
EU-only jurisdiction
All data, metadata and backups stay inside the European Union.
Renewable by default
100% wind, hydro and biomass — sourced, not offset.
Efficient by design
Free-air & adiabatic cooling, PUE consistently below 1.2.
Long-term partnerships
We pick suppliers and facilities that share our standards.

Customer stories
Trusted by teams that can't compromise on hosting.
From CI/CD fleets to healthcare SaaS — teams across the EU rely on our Mac hosting for uptime, sovereignty and sustainability.
"Migrating our iOS CI fleet to vBoxx cut our build queue times in half and our energy footprint even more. The Amsterdam facility feels like an extension of our own ops team."

Jasper de Wit
Head of Mobile Engineering · Fintech scale-up, NL
"We needed EU-only jurisdiction and ISO 27001 without compromise. vBoxx delivered both, plus JetKVM access on every Mac mini — our auditors were genuinely impressed."

Sophie Bergmann
CTO · HealthTech SaaS, DE
"The remote power and console tooling means we almost never have to think about the hardware. When we do, it's one click. That's how hosting should feel in 2026."
