Aligned Energy, a Plano, Texas-based data center company, has opened its Utah headquarters in West Jordan. The 294,000-square-foot building will serve as a colocation data center supporting both cloud providers and enterprise customers.
“We’re excited to announce the official opening of our latest data center in the Salt Lake City area,” said Aligned Energy CEO Andrew Schaap. “The facility addresses the needs of cloud providers, enterprise companies and our existing customers in the region that require an adaptive colocation solution. We are honored to be a member of the Salt Lake business community, and to serve the area with this new efficient and highly reliable data center platform.”
Located on approximately 60 acres, including a dedicated on-site electrical substation, the facility can deliver up to 100 megawatts of critical capacity and maintains a 1.15 power usage effectiveness rating, according to the company. Rocky Mountain Power will provide utility power for the data center, including green energy options for customers with sustainability requirements. The site also offers a 150,000-square-foot data hall, rentable office space, a dedicated loading dock, conference rooms, drop-in office pods, a café area and shower facilities on site.
“We are so excited to welcome Aligned Energy to our city,” said West Jordan Mayor Jim Riding. “They are an innovative company with visionary leadership. Their state-of-the art energy and water conservation measures demonstrate a commitment to the local and global community. We are looking forward to our continued partnership with a new and growing company.”
