Minneapolis stands out as a thriving economic hub in the Midwest, second only to Chicago, driven by strong sectors in scientific research, healthcare, and finance. The demand for colocation services in the Twin Cities is significantly fueled by major corporations such as United Health Group, Target, Best Buy, Supervalu, and 3M. Beyond its high standard of living, Minneapolis actively fosters entrepreneurial growth through initiatives like the Minnesota Technology Center.
To meet the region’s diverse computing needs, DataBank strategically operates four data centers across Minneapolis: MSP 1 West Twin Cities, MSP2 East Twin Cities, MSP3 in the new Brooklyn Park Campus, and MSP4 Downtown. Leveraging Minnesota’s naturally cold climate, DataBank utilizes high-efficiency air-side and water-side economizers, providing an impressive nine months of free cooling to its data center clients annually. This geographic advantage also translates into a reduced risk of natural disasters, making Minneapolis an exceptionally secure location for critical workloads.
Among these facilities, the DataBank MSP3 facility, established in 2021 as the first on the new Brooklyn Park Campus, is particularly notable. It boasts robust power capacity and innovative chilled door cooling options, making it an ideal choice for hyperscalers, content delivery networks, and Fortune 500 companies with demanding, compute-intensive workloads. Furthermore, clients at the MSP3 facility benefit from the Minnesota state sales tax rebate, which offers substantial cost savings on hardware, software, and software maintenance deployed at the site.
