Data centers in Georgia can operate with a low risk of business disruption due to the state’s highly reliable power and fiber optic infrastructure. Smart tax incentives and industrial power costs well below the national average enable data centers in Georgia—including Google, Quality Technology Services (QTS), AT&T, Hewlett Packard (HP), Internap and others—to offer reliable service and lower prices to customers.
Two of the country’s largest fiber routes interconnect in Metro Atlanta, resulting in a built in, high-tech ecosystem for data centers, creating the Southeast’s largest concentration of telecom companies.
