Future facility in planning stage

Microsoft: Point Pleasant Campus

Year Planned: 2028

Ownership: Microsoft Azure does not own the building.

This site is leased from Nscale in the building

The collaboration between Nscale and Microsoft functions as a landlord-tenant agreement that anchors the first phase of the Monarch Compute Campus.

Under a long-term Letter of Intent (LOI), Nscale serves as the master developer and infrastructure provider, while Microsoft has committed to leasing the vast majority of the site's initial power footprint. Microsoft will utilize this infrastructure to deploy roughly 430,000 next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 GPUs, relying entirely on Nscale’s off-grid, self-generated power supply to run its large-scale AI workloads.

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.
