Involta acquires data centre and land in Green Bay with plan for 20MW colocation campus
Carlyle-backed company ’ s entry into Green Bay market brings colocation needed to boost enterprise and regional growth .
Involta , a colocation , hybrid IT and managed services firm , has announced the acquisition of a 24.5-acre site housing an existing data centre in the Green Bay region . Through this acquisition , Involta will implement a multi-phased approach to ultimately extend the current data centre footprint to an expandable campus with up to 20MW of capacity .
The future campus is poised to meet rising enterprise colocation demands with the Involta SecurePower colocation model , which provides mission-critical data centre space coupled with industry-leading power , security and connectivity services directly embedded into its facilities .
Located 40 minutes from Green Bay , the campus project will support the fast-growing needs and performance requirements of critical high-tech industries with the colocation and services needed for enterprise workloads and AI applications . In addition , the location ’ s proximity is highly desirable for Edge deployments , in which Involta is considered a tier-two market pioneer . The area provides a low-risk zone with moderate temperatures to help regulate power demands , along with attractive tax incentives and the recent designation by the Biden administration confirming the state as an official US Regional Tech Hub ( RTH ).
“ The Green Bay market is a sought-after region across our portfolio of enterprise clients spanning healthcare organisations , manufacturers and financial institutions ,” said Bruce Lehrman , Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for Involta . “ As this market continues to grow , our evolving footprint in this vibrant region will deliver the capacity , fibre infrastructure and hybrid IT services required to support High-Performance Compute for the most demanding and complex regulated industries .”
At the epicentre of Involta ’ s expansive data centre network , the 20MW campus will bolster the company ’ s future development of energy-efficient data centres and bring robust , redundant fibre infrastructure to the Wisconsin market , driving more connectivity both locally and nationally while delivering unmatched access to its Midwest data centres from Iowa to Minnesota to Ohio .
This acquisition marks Involta ’ s 13th data centre location . Involta ’ s data centre facilities are located across multiple Edge markets , setting the standard for industry-leading security , redundant power and climate control nationwide .
Involta ’ s data centre services are underscored by the company ’ s commitment to community engagement through Involta Cares , making a meaningful impact within every market it serves . Sustainability is at the heart of the company ’ s growth trajectory , reflected in six recent ENERGY STAR certifications and the coveted Idaho Awards for Leadership in Energy Efficiency . �
