Every end-user has certain site selection criteria checklists that they follow during the process to establish a new data center operation. My team of of professionals has over 50 years of combined industry experience and welcome questions and comments. We also develop data centers as principal owners and have two projects outside of Charlotte NC. For an Eastern US site, the Charlotte area is hard to beat. Low hazardous events, low-cost/reliable power from Duke Energy (nearly 50% nuclear so low carbon emissions), multiple fiber solutions, and at a micro-level, our sites have compelling attributes for enterprise users.
