Data center firm Edged this week launched the first of three facilities at its 96MW Aurora campus. The two-story ORD01-1 offers 24MW across 210,000 sq ft (19,510 sqm). The site is equipped with a waterless cooling system from Edged's sister company ThermalWorks. The company said the modular system supports densities of up to 70kW per rack with air cooling and 200kW per rack with plug-and-play liquid cooling integration.
“We are grateful to the City of Aurora for their invaluable partnership and shared vision for a more sustainable future,” said Edged CEO, Bryant Farland. “This state-of-the-art campus exemplifies our mission to drive innovation, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship with every Edged data center. Together, we have transformed an underutilized site into a next-generation IT hub that delivers high-performance computing alongside responsible resource management.”
"The grand opening of Edged marks a significant milestone for Aurora and the greater Chicagoland area," said Aurora Mayor Richard C. Irvin. "This state-of-the-art high-tech campus not only strengthens our city's position as a hub for innovation and technology but also brings tremendous economic and employment opportunities to our community."
