DC BLOX, based in Atlanta, announced it is developing three new hyperscale edge node sites to be located in Montgomery, AL, North Augusta, SC, and Huntsville, AL, in addition to the earlier announced location in Conyers, GA, Inside Towers reported. The company says these developments underscore its commitment to supporting the Southeast’s rapidly growing demand for digital infrastructure.
The Montgomery facility will initially support 5 MW for a hyperscale anchor tenant, with capacity to expand to 40 MW to accommodate additional tenants. The North Augusta and Huntsville sites are each designed to provide 5 MW of power dedicated to the hyperscale client.
DC BLOX says these new developments further validate its strategy to deliver scalable, efficient digital infrastructure solutions across the southeast, including edge-market Tier III data centers, the Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station, large-scale hyperscale data centers and a regional fiber network.
In addition to these three new edge sites, DC BLOX’s previously announced Atlanta East campus will initially deliver 10 MW for the hyperscale tenant with up to 120 MW critical power expansion capacity available for additional clients. Combined, these four edge sites will initially deliver 25 total MW devoted to the hyperscale client with a total potential capacity of 160 MW for additional tenants.
In conjunction with the Atlanta East data center, DC BLOX is building a dark fiber ring around metro Atlanta, enabling regional connectivity from the campus as well as providing global access via DC BLOX’s regional fiber backbone connecting into the Myrtle Beach cable landing station.
Jeff Uphues, DC BLOX CEO comments, “With each new site, we are building critical digital infrastructure that enables hyperscale companies to operate at the edge while benefiting from the Southeast’s favorable economics and rapid growth.”
