Vantage Data Centers is expanding in Texas with a new gigawatt-scale campus outside Abilene in Shackelford County, Texas. Situated on 1,200 acres, Vantage’s Frontier campus is set to be the largest across its global portfolio, with the project set to be its biggest investment to date, totaling more than $25 billion. The campus will be home to 10 data centers totaling 3.7 million sq ft (343,741 sqm), offering rack densities of more than 250kW.
“Texas has become a critical and strategic market for AI providers. In particular, the launch of our Frontier campus with 1.4GW of GPU compute capacity marks a watershed moment for Vantage as we deliver on our promise to meet the unprecedented requirements of our customers,” said Dana Adams, president of North America, at Vantage Data Centers. “This investment in Texas will be a significant economic growth driver for the area as we rapidly deploy the digital infrastructure needed to support AI applications. We look forward to being part of such a welcoming and proud community.”
“Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes innovation and technology,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “Vantage Data Centers’ $25 billion investment to build a new data center campus will help create thousands of good-paying jobs for Texans and bring revenue to the local and state economies. Partnering with job-creating and innovative businesses like Vantage, Texas will continue to be a national and global leader in this emerging frontier.”
