Data Centers 

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.

BENEFITS

Data centers in Georgia can:

  • Mitigate business risk by tapping into a statewide integrated transmission system that is a hub for the country’s two largest fiber-optic trunks
  • Control spending by using non-regulated telecommunications services
  • Leverage a pre-qualified workforce with degrees in Computer and Information Systems Management, Database Administration and Network Computer Systems Administration and the certification in Information Assurance
  • Connect to the intellectual resources of Georgia's 35 public college and universities to the state's business community in innovative ways through Georgia's Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP).
  • Maintain competitive edge by engaging the Georgia Centers for Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT), the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC), and The Broadband Institute at Georgia Tech to help design and develop custom broadband systems, computing and content processing
