Sustainable Mac hosting

    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.

    Real vBoxx rack packed with Apple Mac mini units and orange ethernet cabling
    Built for Apple silicon

    Dense, quiet, and redundant.

    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."
