KC Data Center Operator Opens New Facility in Shawnee

Netrality Data Centers, a privately held owner and operator of core interconnection facilities, recently opened its latest data center facility, KC2-7801 Nieman, in Shawnee, Kansas. The 172,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility located at 7801 Nieman Road is designed to serve as a hub by providing the critical digital infrastructure needed to drive digital transformation and business growth throughout the Midwest.

“The presence of a cutting-edge facility like KC2-7801 Nieman makes the Kansas City Metro region more attractive to tech giants, startups, and everything in between, promising a vibrant future for the local economy,” said Gerald M. Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer at Netrality.

The new data center is directly linked via dark fiber to Netrality’s core interconnection facility, 1102 Grand in Kansas City. In 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce recognized the Kansas-Missouri region as one of 31 inaugural Tech Hubs. Kansas City is one of six U.S. markets where Netrality owns and operates core interconnected data centers.
