Flexential, a leading provider of data center solutions, has announced its plans to expand its FlexAnywhere service platform by adding data centers in Portland, Oregon, and Atlanta. This expansion aims to meet the increasing demand for scalable and secure data storage solutions. With a focus on sustainability and advanced technology, Flexential is set to bring a substantial amount of megawatts online this year while adhering to their eco-friendly design standards.
Expansion Plans
Flexential’s ambitious expansion plans involve the addition of data centers in two key locations: Portland and Atlanta. These strategic locations were chosen due to their strong network connectivity and favorable business environments. By expanding their presence in these cities, Flexential aims to better serve their clients’ growing needs for reliable and efficient data storage solutions.
Expected Online Capacity for This Year
As part of its expansion efforts, Flexential anticipates bringing 40.5 megawatts of data center capacity online by the end of this year. This significant increase in capacity will enable businesses to benefit from Flexential’s state-of-the-art infrastructure and industry-leading services.
Data Center Projects in Metro Atlanta
In metropolitan Atlanta, Flexential has two concurrent projects. The first project, the Douglasville-1 data center, is scheduled to come online later this year, delivering an additional 22.5 megawatts of capacity to the region. This expansion will further solidify Atlanta’s position as a top hub for data centers, given its strategic position as the gateway for network traffic in the Southeast.
Construction of Douglasville-2 Data Center
Parallel to the Douglasville-1 project, Flexential is in the process of constructing Douglasville-2, a state-of-the-art data center that will add an impressive 36 megawatts of capacity. This expansion demonstrates Flexential’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for high-performance computing deployments in the Atlanta area.
Atlanta’s suitability for data centers
Atlanta’s selection as a prime location for data centers is rooted in its favorable business environment and its status as a major hub for network traffic in the Southeast. As more and more companies choose Atlanta as their base of operations or expand their presence in the region, the need for robust data storage solutions has skyrocketed. Flexential’s expansion in Atlanta aims to address this demand by providing reliable and secure data center services.
Hillsboro, Oregon Data Center Projects
In addition to their expansion in Atlanta, Flexential is also constructing two new data centers in Hillsboro, Oregon. The Hillsboro-4 data center is nearing completion and is expected to be available for clients this fall, adding 18 megawatts of capacity to the area. Furthermore, the Hillsboro-5 data center, currently under construction, will deliver an additional 36 megawatts. These data centers benefit from the region’s tax advantages and strong network connectivity, making them highly attractive to businesses in need of reliable and scalable data storage solutions.
Sustainable Design Standards
Flexential is committed to incorporating sustainable design practices into its new facilities. The company’s fifth-generation design is optimized to support the growing power and density requirements of AI and GPU-driven high-performance compute deployments. With a power usage efficiency of 1.4 and zero water usage, Flexential’s data centers will not only meet the demands of its clients but also minimize their environmental impact.
Flexential’s expansion of its FlexAnywhere service platform through the addition of new data centers in Portland and Atlanta highlights its commitment to meeting the ever-increasing demand for robust and sustainable data storage solutions. With an additional 40.5 megawatts of capacity coming online this year and ongoing construction projects in both metro Atlanta and Hillsboro, Flexential is well-positioned to accommodate businesses’ evolving technology requirements. By adhering to sustainable design practices, Flexential not only addresses its clients’ needs but also contributes to a cleaner and greener future for the data center industry.
