hyperscale data centers in United States

A hyperscale data center is a very large facility used by cloud providers and other large technology companies to house huge numbers of servers. If your company is planning that kind of expansion, Fred's Properties Group can help you search for suitable land or buildings, with a particular focus on Northern Virginia.

What is a hyperscale data center?

Think of the large technology companies that run online services for millions of users. The buildings that support those services are far larger than a typical server room. Hyperscale facilities are built to scale quickly, with large amounts of power, cooling, and network capacity, and they can function almost like campuses.

What users look for in a site

• Power availability. Often the first question for any large site.
• Connectivity. Access to fiber routes and nearby data center clusters.
• Land or building. Either an existing large building that can be converted, or land for new development.
• Zoning and approvals. Local rules vary by state, county, and city.
• Cooling and water. Requirements depend on the design and the local utility.
• Community and workforce. Local support and the labor market affect long-term operations.
