In the race to build digital infrastructure capable of supporting the ever-growing demands of data-intensive applications, the Midwest has emerged as a strategic hotspot. At the heart of this evolution is Nebraska—a state traditionally known for its agricultural roots, now rapidly becoming a preferred destination for hyperscalers. The reasons behind this Heartland hyperscaler shift are compelling, combining economic advantages, geographic benefits and robust connectivity. Nebraska is most definitely on a powerplay, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Sustainability has been a hot button topic in the data center industry as of late, and for good reason. Data centers utilize a large amount of resources, including power and water, to carry out operations in the facility, and as a result can generate large amounts of emissions. As our communities and the world continue to generate mass amounts of data and connectivity demands only soar higher, we are likely to keep adding to these environmental impacts. So, how do we continue to grow without increasing emissions or depleting resources? Luckily, there are solutions we can take advantage of. It’s Cool, Man Cooling uses a lot of power, but it [...]
