Salt Lake City, UT Data Centers

Why Salt Lake City?

According to 451 Research, Salt Lake City is a top 10 U.S. multi-tenant data center market.

Utah ranks 2nd in the nation and 3rd in the world for the fastest Internet connectivity speeds, with an extensive fiber infrastructure. Fondly referred to as the Silicon Slopes, Utah ranks 5th in the nation for national disaster safety.

Utah boasts some of the most attractive sales tax incentives in the nation. Aligned Salt Lake City data center customers can leverage these incentives to generate significant savings – millions of dollars in many cases.

Utah enjoys some of the cheapest electricity and natural gas rates in the nation. Utah’s power plants have transitioned to natural gas and steam over the last 15 years, and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are rapidly growing.

Salt Lake City is a prime natural environment. In fact, much of Utah is classified as a cold desert, allowing for ambient air cooling. Humidity levels are perfect for data center operations without requiring extra infrastructure to control it.
