Data Center Campus in Reno

Last week, the company announced that it has finally started building its first data centre campus in the Reno metropolitan area of Nevada, almost five years after initially planned.

This development will include an on-site substation and two data centres, totalling 1.5 million square feet of space and capable of supporting 216 MW of critical IT load. According to EdgeCore, the facility’s completion is anticipated by late 2025.

Projected Growth

According to a leasing report by 451 Research, Reno is expected to be the fourth fastest-growing data centre market in the US between 2022 and 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 percent.

Location Advantages

EdgeCore says Reno’s proximity to the Bay Area, just 250 miles away and with sub-three millisecond latency, makes it attractive for major cloud and internet companies seeking data centre space. Additionally, the availability of low-cost utility power and renewable energy options contributes to the city’s appeal.

Cost Efficiency

Reno offers a 30 percent lower total cost of ownership compared to a comparable data centre deployment in the Bay Area, making it an appealing option for businesses seeking cost-effective solutions on the West Coast.
