Adding to Aligned’s existing 34MW, 300,000 sqft. West Jordan data centre, the adjacent new 240,000sqft facility will add 48MW of capacity. At full build, Aligned SLC campus will offer 780,000sqft of space and 130MW of capacity.
“Aligned continues to set — and achieve — aggressive speed-to-market targets, most recently in Ashburn, and now in Salt Lake County with our latest greenfield deployment,” said Andrew Schaap (pictured), CEO of Aligned Energy. “Expected to complete in Q1 2020, our second West Jordan facility will provide adaptable, efficient and sustainable data centre infrastructure to enable enhanced availability, performance and scale for customers’ growing cloud and application workloads in the region.”
Aligned’s SLC data centre campus will feature the company’s Delta Cube TM cooling technology, which allows customers to scale up to 50kW per rack without having to reconfigure existing infrastructure, disperse equipment, or require large-scale CapEx investments — all while maintaining industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and using up to 80% less energy and 85% less water. Combined with Aligned’s patented CACTUS unit, this cooling solution delivers efficiency at any load, in any climate, regardless of location to support customers’ sustainability goals.
"We are happy to see Aligned Energy’s expansion in West Jordan. The company’s decision to further invest in our city shows confidence in West Jordan’s growing economy and workforce,” added Jim Riding, West Jordan City Mayor. “We are proud to partner with this leading data centre that will bring new job opportunities for citizens, allowing them to live and work in West Jordan."
Earlier this year, Aligned welcomed Michael Coleman as its global head of design and delivery and Billie Haggard as senior vice president of operations.
