Data Centre Availability
One of the biggest and most important markets for data centres in the US is Silicon Valley, but recent inventory and power shortages have made it challenging for cloud and technology companies to find scalable multi-megawatt capacity in the region. These new Data Centres from EdgeCore will be able to serve the rising demand in the market.
