PHOENIX — 5C Data Centres, a provider of data centre services, plans to launch a new region in Phoenix, Arizona. The first facility in the region, PHX01, is scheduled to go live in 2025.

It is located within miles of downtown Phoenix and will comprise 140k sq ft and 20MW of critical IT power capacity. With 5CDC’s design for GPUs and direct-to-chip liquid cooling, PHX01 will be able to accommodate AI and machine learning workloads, supporting power densities of up to 132kW per cabinet.

“Expanding our footprint to Phoenix marks a significant milestone for 5C Data Centers as we continue to support the growing demand for high-performance and sustainable data center solutions,” said Steve Perez, CEO of 5C Data Centers.

Adiabatic trim cooling and heat-tolerant coolant inlet temperatures will minimize both water and power usage in the new Phoenix centre.

“I am thrilled to welcome this 5C Data Center to my district. This project will bring economic growth and high-quality job opportunities to the area. We are excited to see this substantial investment and infrastructure improvements to the neighborhood,” said councilwoman Laura Pastor.

“Data center investment is a vital component to meeting the growing advancements of the technology cluster,” said greater phoenix economic council president and CEO Chris Camacho. “5C Data Centers’ work and commitment to operating with sustainable practices will help Greater Phoenix’s high-tech ecosystem continue to grow.”
