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.
