Involta said the future campus will meet the rising enterprise colocation demands using the Involta SecurePower colocation model, which provides mission-critical data center space coupled with power, security, and connectivity services directly embedded into its facilities.
Advantage for Edge Deployments
Located 40 minutes from Green Bay, the campus project will support the fast-growing needs and performance requirements of critical high-tech industries with the colocation and services needed for enterprise workloads and AI applications, according to the official release.

"As this market continues to grow, our evolving footprint in this vibrant region will deliver the capacity, fiber infrastructure, and hybrid IT services required to support high-performance compute for the most demanding and complex regulated industries."
