Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices is planning a $100 million data center project near Atlanta in Suwanee, Georgia. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company cited affordable power and real estate as key factors in its decision.
"We will be consolidating the capacity from some (of) our smaller data centers in North America into a bigger state-of-the-art facility, which allows us to take advantage of the latest technology and achieve efficiencies of scale," AMD spokeswoman Pushpita Prasad told the Atlanta Business Chronicle (registration required).
Suwanee is already home to at least two major data centers, including a 350,000 square foot facility operated by QTS (Quality Technology Services) and a major data center hub for HP.
