Utah County, We Are Online!

Today, we are excited to announce that the Eagle Mountain Data Center in Utah is now serving traffic. That means this data center is now part of the highly-advanced infrastructure that helps bring our apps and services to billions of people around the world.

We are committed to creating a positive impact in the communities that we are a part of, and since announcing the Eagle Mountain Data Center in 2018, we have worked hard to be good neighbors. We are investing in the long-term vitality of Eagle Mountain and its residents by partnering with the local community and supporting organizations and initiatives that help connect the community and increase digital skills. Overall, we have provided approximately $2 million in community support since breaking ground in 2018, including nearly $1 million to local schools, small businesses and nonprofit organizations as part of our COVID-19 relief efforts.

Once fully built, the Eagle Mountain Data Center will represent an investment of more than $1 billion in the state of Utah and support more than 200 jobs. Construction of the nearly 2.4 million-square-foot campus has resulted in 1,250 construction workers on site daily at peak. And, we have recycled over 85% of the project’s construction waste instead of sending it to landfills.

Our global operations are supported by 100% renewable energy, including the Eagle Mountain Data Center. In Utah, we are working with Rocky Mountain Power to bring over 800MW of new solar energy to the grid. These nine renewable energy projects will support more than 1,400 construction jobs and over $260 million in local investment to Utah, including Iron, Tooele and Carbon counties.

Our data centers have been designed from the ground up to be some of the most efficient data center facilities in the world. The Eagle Mountain Data Center is designed to use 80% less water than the average data center. In 2020, we partnered with Trout Unlimited to invest in the Provo River water restoration project in Utah. The project will ensure 416 million gallons of water remain in the river during the hottest months of the year, helping endangered species and sportfish.

Eagle Mountain and Utah County have been a great location for our newest data center. We are proud to work alongside our partners at Eagle Mountain City, Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Alpine School District, and EDCUtah and many more, and we are thankful for helping us  become part of this community. We look forward to continuing to strengthen these partnerships for years to come!
