DC BLOX, a leading provider of digital infrastructure across the South Eastern US, has announced it is developing three new hyperscale Edge node sites in addition to a previously announced location.
The new data centres will be located in Montgomery, Alabama; North Augusta, South Carolina; and Huntsville, Alabama; in addition to the location in Conyers, Georgia that was formerly made public.
These developments underscore the company’s commitment to supporting the South East’s rapidly growing demand for digital infrastructure.
The Montgomery facility will initially support 5MW for a hyperscale anchor tenant, with the capacity to expand up to 40MW to accommodate additional tenants. The North Augusta and Huntsville sites are each designed to provide 5MW of power dedicated to the hyperscale client.
These new developments further validate DC BLOX’s strategy to deliver scalable, efficient digital infrastructure solutions across the region including Edge-market Tier III data centres, the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station, large-scale hyperscale data centres and a regional fibre network. Each component plays a crucial role in meeting the increasing need for Edge data services in the South East where DC BLOX’s expertise and dedication to local partnerships drive significant growth.
“Our continued expansion is a testament to the soundness of our strategy and our deep understanding of the South Eastern 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 benefiting from the South East’s favourable economics and rapid growth.”
In addition to these three new Edge sites, DC BLOX previously announced its Atlanta East campus. Located just 24 miles east of downtown Atlanta in Rockdale County, the Atlanta East campus is a vital component of DC BLOX’s expanding Southeastern digital infrastructure. The Atlanta East campus will initially deliver 10MW for the hyperscale tenant with an expansion capacity of up to 120MW critical power available for additional clients. Combined, these four Edge sites will initially deliver 25MW devoted to the hyperscale client with a total potential capacity of 160MW for additional tenants.
In conjunction with the Atlanta East data centre, DC BLOX is building a dark fibre ring around metro Atlanta, enabling regional connectivity from the campus as well as providing global access via DC BLOX’s regional fibre backbone connecting to the Myrtle Beach cable landing station.
The development of these new hyperscale Edge node data centres has garnered strong support from local municipalities, with leaders across the South East recognising the economic and infrastructure advantages they bring. These partnerships reflect a shared vision for growth that benefits local communities and the wider region.
