“Hillsboro offers a business-friendly environment, affordable power and renewable energy options, diverse metro and long-haul connectivity to major cities and tech hubs such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Silicon Valley, as well as proximity to international subsea cable networks that reduce latency between the U.S. and high-growth markets in the Asia-Pacific region.”
The initial data centre campus is expected to offer 72MW of critical capacity and the second is planned for 36MW.
The campus is located within the region of the State of Oregon’s Enterprise zone programme.
