Guam University to receive new government data center

Sep 01, 2023 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

A new government data center is proposed for the campus of the University of Guam. The government intends to construct a two-story, 15,000-square-foot data center/Office of Information Technology facility. The endeavor will see an investment of $15 million.

The report notes that the 1992-built Computer Center is the University's primary campus data center but lacks the efficacy and security of modern data centers.

"The new data center/Office of Information Technology Computer Center will provide a modern data center, main central campus technology support, and the primary computer lab resources for UOG," according to the report. "It will be a data center that content providers, government agencies, and other entities with different security requirements can utilize to better the Internet experience for its Guam users and the Marianas region."

There are 8 data centers in Guam.
