NEWS ROUNDUP

DEVELOPMENT: QTS plans $10 billion campus in Ohio. QTS and the City of Van Wert have announced plans for a major data center campus in Van Wert, Ohio, expected to bring approximately $10 billion in capital investment. The planned 902-acre campus will include up to seven data center buildings, create more than 1,500 construction jobs, and support around 200 full-time positions once operational.

DEVELOPMENT: Riot Platforms files permit for $400 million expansion. Riot Platforms has filed a construction permit with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for a new 335,430-square-foot, two-story data center building at its Corsicana, Texas campus. The project, known internally as Project Ditto, carries an estimated construction cost of $400 million and is scheduled to be built between April 2026 and 2028.

DEVELOPMENT: Plans filed for 20-building campus in Pennsylvania. Plans submitted in Clinton Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, outline a proposed 682-acre industrial data center campus featuring 20 data center buildings, each measuring approximately 118,000 square feet, along with two on-site power generation facilities, two customer substations, a water treatment building, and supporting infrastructure. The proposed campus would include nearly 2.4 million square feet of data center space and is expected to be served by Pennsylvania-American Water Company and the Lackawanna River Basin Sewer Authority.

 

TECHNOLOGY: Amazon deploys new data center network architecture to boost efficiency. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has implemented a new resilient network graph (RNG) architecture designed to improve data center performance while reducing infrastructure and energy requirements. The architecture uses a quasi-random network topology and a proprietary optical device called ShuffleBox, which automatically reconfigures connections between routers. According to AWS, the RNG design requires 69% fewer routers and switches, increases network throughput by 33%, reduces energy consumption by 40%, and lowers operational costs by 27% compared with traditional data center network architectures.
