Due to its robust energy grid and infrastructure, favorable economic climate, and welcoming stance towards new business and alternative industries, Texas has positioned itself at the forefront of technological innovation in the United States and is quickly becoming America’s major tech hub. Dataprana’s 30 MW facility will add to this growth by creating local employment opportunities and offering its clients a state-of-the-art, immersion-cooled data center with stable year-round hardware temperatures, security, and around the clock remote and on-site support.
The facility will feature high-end infrastructure from top immersion system manufacturers such as Intelliflex and Arctic Systems, ensuring industry-leading cooling and near-silent operation - an important aspect of Dataprana’s commitment to a minimal community impact presence. The site will aim to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding environment, prioritizing an aesthetic approach without generating noise or other forms of pollution, among other community considerations.
“Dataprana strives to go beyond the basics by creating a positive impact in our areas of operation, and this project is a reflection of that. The site you see in progress here today introduces the first state-of-the-art data center in this region, and we hope to do our part by empowering further growth through innovation alongside the city of La Marque,” said Arseniy Grusha, Co-Founder and CEO of Dataprana
Advanced infrastructure hardware and cooling systems set the La Marque facility apart as a future-proof data center well-equipped to accommodate the growing demand for various needs, such as cloud services, Web3 applications, digital asset mining, and other client-specific use cases.
In addition to the La Marque project, Dataprana currently has over 140 MW in development for various other projects, including its first 1.5 MW AI data center built specifically to accommodate the latest NVIDIA AI hardware.
The 1.5 MW AI data center will aim to serve as a showcase project targeting interested parties in need of GPU colocation space.
