Salt Lake City is emerging as a premier destination for data centers, attracting both local innovators from “Silicon Slopes” and companies seeking cost-effective alternatives to California’s expensive facilities. Recognized by Forbes for its business-friendly environment and fiscal responsibility, Salt Lake City boasts a strategic location with convenient access to the West Coast and Mountain regions. DataBank operates six strategically positioned data centers in the area, including the downtown SLC1 Carrier Hotel and the extensive Bluffdale campus (SLC2, SLC3, SLC4, SLC5, and SLC6). The city’s high elevation and arid climate provide natural advantages for efficient data center cooling. Furthermore, Salt Lake City’s remarkably low incidence of natural and man-made disasters makes it one of the most secure data center locations in the United States. Additionally, Utah offers some of the fastest internet speeds in the Intermountain West and among the highest nationwide. DataBank’s Granite Point SLC3 data center in Bluffdale, UT, offers a prime example of these advantages. Situated just minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, this carrier-neutral facility provides robust network connectivity to multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 providers, diverse substations for high-density power, and redundant cooling systems, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
