Significant Company Footprints

Major companies have carefully chosen spots in Texas and Florida for data center development due to their favorable energy markets, infrastructure, and business environments. Among the big companies we have found: Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, CyrusOne, Lumen, and the University of Texas, each contributing to the region’s emergence as a “data center hub”.

Meta plans to build a massive hyperscale data center outside the Fort Worth, Texas area, driven by affordable power and abundance of land. The company has invested in many solar energy projects across Texas in support of their data needs, and this data center campus will be a multi-million-dollar project. Microsoft plans to invest millions in data center expansions in the San Antonio area, as well as Amazon in the Dallas area. CyrusOne is a company based in Texas that partners with big energy groups like Calpine, which facilitates their growth in large-scale data centers across the states. Finally, Florida is an interesting spot to analyze considering that 100% of the “big companies” that make their data center locations are solely made up from Lumen Technologies. Lumen is a company that provides high-speed network services and it has around 20 data centers currently operating in Florida.
