Cologix Data Center Customers Save With Minnesota’s Sales Tax Incentive
Emergent Networks garners nearly $50,000 in initial tax savings by colocating in Cologix’s MIN 3 enterprise-grade data center facility.
Minnesota’s sales tax incentive program continues to generate significant savings for Cologix data center customers. Emergent Networks, LLC, one of Minnesota’s most respected full-service technology consulting firms, has realized approximately $50,000 in sales tax savings by colocating in Cologix’s highly redundant, enterprise-grade MIN 3 data center facility. As a result of the incentive, Emergent Networks has also experienced increased customer interest in its services that are linked to Cologix’s Minneapolis data center as their clients pursue similar cost-savings opportunities.
Cologix, the leading network neutral interconnection and data center provider in Minneapolis, announced the qualification of its MIN 3 data center for Minnesota’s Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) sales tax incentive program in January 2015. According to the Minnesota DEED website, “qualifying projects receive sales tax exemptions for 20 years on computers and servers, cooling and energy equipment, energy use, and software.” The benefit is available to the data center provider as well as customers who deploy new equipment into the facility.
