In 2025, the Lyon County Planning Commission approved a parcel map for Microsoft, allowing the company to restructure 274 acres of land it owns in Silver Springs, Nevada. Originally composed of six separate parcels, the land will be reorganized into three larger parcels: one massive parcel of 223.18 acres, a second at 32.6 acres, and a final 18.7-acre parcel. The land is currently zoned for neighborhood-commercial or employment use.
Microsoft acquired the vacant land, which is located off Highway 50 to the west of central Silver Springs (outside Reno), in late 2022 for $16.425 million.

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.
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.
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 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.
