The facility already has 2 MW of tenants under contract.
GIGA Data Centers, LLC (GIGA) has announced the construction of its newest facility. Located in Mooresville, NC, a northern suburb in the greater Charlotte area, the data center goes live February 2019 and will supply 60 MW of capacity at 4.1₵ per kWhr and a power use efficiency (PUE) rating of < 1.15 — guaranteed. These game-changing operational figures bring high-performance data center capabilities — typically only afforded by large hyperscale corporations — to small and mid-sized businesses as well as enterprise companies across the IT-supported industries of ecommerce, finance, gaming, health care, and many others, as well as users seeking private cloud deployments.
Many large enterprises including Facebook and Google have major data center expansions already underway. For years these companies have utilized modular enclosure systems to easily scale their infrastructures and achieve a lower cost, more energy and water efficiencies as well as greater in-rack power flexibility to support high performance compute. However, most companies can only co-locate their IT in a traditional raised-floor data center. This approach has its limits and uses high-cost, low-efficiency designs that support power density that tops out at 7 kW per rack.
