DC Blox, a provider of digital infrastructure with locations in Alabama, will be adding two new hyperscale edge node data center sites in Alabama, in Huntsville and Montgomery. The company will also be adding sites in South Carolina and Georgia.
Hyperscale data centers often support big data-producing companies like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and others.
The Montgomery facility will initially support 5 MW for an anchor tenant, with the capacity to expand up to 40 MW to accommodate other tenants. The Huntsville site will be designed to provide 5 MW of power dedicated to the hyperscale client.
“Our continued expansion is a testament to the soundness of our strategy and our deep understanding for the Southeastern market,” said Jeff Uphues, CEO of DC Blox. “With each new site, we are building critical digital infrastructure that enables hyperscale companies to operate at the edge while benefitting from the Southeast’s favorable economies and rapid growth.”
The development of these new hyperscale edge node data centers has garnered support from local municipalities.
“DC Blox’s decision to establish a new data center in Montgomery highlights our city’s emergence as a prime destination for cutting-edge digital infrastructure in the Southeast,” said Shelby Stringfellow, senior vice president of economic development at the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce. “This new investment is a significant achievement for Montgomery, reinforcing our business-friendly environment and setting the stage for transformative growth.”
DC Blox already has data centers in Birmingham and Huntsville, along with other Southeastern cities.
