Myrtle Beach and Richmond, with additional expansions planned. This distributed footprint creates a connected ecosystem rather than isolated data centre sites.
“ DC BLOX’ s footprint is unlike any other data centre operator in the southeast,” Jeff claims.“ We’ ve made a significant impact by improving both network capacity and data centre infrastructure across multiple southeastern markets.”
AI drives increased digital infrastructure demand The rise of AI has created substantial demand for data centre capacity and connectivity, something DC BLOX has positioned itself to capitalise on.“ AI is driving every aspect of infrastructure demand,” says Jeff.“ From large language models( LLMs) that companies are developing to edge inference model deployments – both require robust facilities and connectivity.”
This evolution has changed customer requirements dramatically.“ Customers who previously needed 10 megawatts now require 100 megawatts. This growth, driven by AI, has required us to scale our capabilities substantially,” Jeff explains.
The company’ s original plans for the Atlanta market shifted in response to these changing needs.“ We didn’ t enter Atlanta planning to sell 120-megawatt campuses to single customers. We expected gradual growth over time, but then the industry evolved rapidly as AI created unprecedented demand.”
Bill notes that fibre networks are equally critical to support AI infrastructure.
