Australian Edge data center firm Edge Centres is planning a new data center with a capacity of 1MW facilities in St. Louis, Missouri, and Portland, Oregon.




Edge Centres offers modular "off-grid" data centers with on-site wind and/or solar power and backup grid connections. Each facility has 48-hour batteries and UPS backup equipment, which supports 64 1kW quarter racks and under 1MW of solar infrastructure.
