Aligned Data Centers is expanding in the Phoenix market with two new land acquisitions. Totaling over 400 MW of IT load and approximately two million square feet, Aligned’s future mega campuses will provide customers with capacity and scalability in one of the nation’s fastest-growing data center markets. The Phoenix market is a viable alternative to California as a Western data center location due to its relatively inexpensive power cost and low disaster risk. Aligned’s new Phoenix campuses is designed to preserve local water resources.

Aligned’s Andrew Schaap added this, “Aligned is focused on meeting the capacity demands of our customers today, while constantly innovating across every aspect of our business to ensure their future data center requirements will be met long term.”

Aligned’s two Phoenix expansions are the latest in over 470 MW of construction projects that are currently active or planned to commence in 2022.
