Two data center giants invest big money in Pr. William data center land
Some of the world’s biggest data center players are making huge inroads in the growing western Prince William County market, and it’s not coming cheap. From Amazon Web Services to Google to Yondr, corporations are buying up land by the bunches of acres in Gainesville, what’s becoming a new “data center alley” after the better known, and more expensive, Ashburn. On Tuesday, NTT Ltd., a global information technology infrastructure and services company based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, announced it had acquired 103.3 acres in Gainesville for a new, 2 million-square-foot data center campus with a planned 336 megawatts of capacity.
