Data Center Campus
Microsoft: Elk Grove Campus
Campus at a Glance
Microsoft is constructing a $123 million data center campus in Elk Grove Village near Chicago. The 36.6-acre plot in the Elk Grove Technology Park could eventually hold three data center buildings totaling 400,000 sq ft (37,000 sq m),
- The first building is valued at $123 million and has already brought the village $1.5 million in permit fees.
- Microsoft paid Brennan Investment Group, owners of the Elk Grove Technology Park, $52.2 million in January 2020 to purchase the 36.6-acre parcel on the east side of the sprawling 85-acre technology park.

Operating Company
Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.
Azure Regions
An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.
Geographies
An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.
Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.
Availability Zones
Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
