Edged Data Centers launches new facility in Atlanta

Data center provider Edged Energy has launched its first North American data center in Atlanta, Georgia. The campus will feature three data centers, the first of the three which is now live, delivering 27MW of capacity. At full build-out, the campus will offer 168MW of IT capacity.

Brandon Beach, chairman of Develop Fulton, said: “Develop Fulton acknowledges the direct benefits of this Economic Development Opportunity, which will generate nearly $70 million in tax revenue over ten years. In addition to the financial benefits, the project guarantees minimal environmental impact through zero water usage for cooling and advanced electrical systems.”

Bryant Farland, CEO of Edged, said: “We are deeply grateful to Develop Fulton for partnering with us to transform this vacant, brownfield site into a state-of-the-art IT campus and true asset to the community. Atlanta is the ideal location for our first North American data center. The project sets a new standard for sustainable development and represents a $1.69B economic investment in the region, bringing hundreds of jobs and millions in funding for Atlanta public schools, the local government, and important city services.”
