Where has the time gone? We still have confetti in our hair from the party celebrating the Singapore data center going online, and all of a sudden, we’re announcing that SoftLayer servers are available in Amsterdam<\/a> for presale.<\/p>

If you saw the epic “SoftLayer is Coming to Town”<\/a>, you may have noticed a clip of the Go Live Crew (GLC) team members in Amsterdam at around the 1:05 mark:<\/p>

\"GLC<\/a><\/p>

With pallets of wrapped equipment and a few racks constructed in the background, it’s pretty clear that as of October 1, the data center was a long way from calling itself a SoftLayer Pod<\/a>. A few short weeks ago, I shared an update on the progress<\/a> of our first European facility, and now we’re less than two weeks away from the first customer servers being provisioned in Amsterdam!<\/p>

Mark your calendar: November 7<\/strong> – The date your first SoftLayer server in Amsterdam will go live.<\/p>

In addition to customer servers being provisioned when the data center officially opens its doors, our network points of presence throughout Europe will be humming along nicely. That means if you’re a SoftLayer customer in Europe, you should see some fantastic improvements in your network paths and speeds to servers in the United States (and Singapore) since you’ll be able to hop onto our network sooner and ride with SoftLayer across the Atlantic. <\/p>

Amsterdam Server Special<\/strong>
To coincide with the launch of our Singapore facility, we brought back the Triple Double server special<\/a> to reward early adopters, and we’re doing the same thing for customers in Amsterdam. Order a server in AMS with promo code TRIPLE, and you can double your RAM, bandwidth and HDD space for FREE<\/em>.<\/p>

The guys on the GLC in Amsterdam have worked tirelessly to ensure that everything is perfect (fueled by daily “Da Bobby G” sandwiches<\/a>), and we’re all ecstatic for customers to start taking advantage of the latest addition to the stellar SoftLayer infrastructure.<\/p>

What are you waiting for? Shouldn’t you be clicking through to pre-order your Amsterdam server<\/a> right now?<\/p>
