Aligned, a leading data center provider offering innovative, sustainable and adaptable colocation and build-to-scale solutions for cloud, enterprise, and managed service providers, announces its continuing expansion in the Salt Lake Metro Area with the development of the Company’s new data center campus. Aligned acquired the new multi-megawatt site for its latest waterless Build-to-Scale development. The expansion further supports its geo-redundant growth in the region, following the Q1 2021 launch of its second Salt Lake Metro data center, SLC-02, and in advance of a third master-planned facility on its West Jordan, Utah, campus. The project is forecasted to meet an aggressive six-month construction timeline, with completion projected in December of 2021.
“Our latest Salt Lake data center is an example of Aligned’s ability to provide agile Build-to-Scale solutions focused on driving optionality, reducing added cost and risk, and enabling industry-leading construction timelines and quality,” says Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned. “In addition to speed and scale, the development also satisfies our customer’s requirement for water conservation, while still delivering industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Combined with our ultra-efficient Delta3 cooling technology, Utah’s cold desert climate enables us to deliver a waterless data center solution.”
