NovoServe’s engineering roots go back to the early days of the Internet, with Dutch Internet pioneer Internet Access Facilities (IAF) being acquired by NovoServe in 2016. At the same time, NovoServe acquired sister company Twents Datacentrum (TDC) with its data center located in Enschede, while later on NovoServe incorporated a data center in Doetinchem that was acquired from global Internet security company Avira.
