Explaining this, Todd Currie, Vice President and General Manager at TierPoint, commented:

We have already begun to install clients and are currently negotiating with a couple of major institutions that have shown interest in the facility.

TierPoint claim that reasonable land prices, easy access to power stations and growing interest of customers in edge technology have made Oklahoma a preferred choice to build the data center. They also say that this facility is furnished with all the latest equipment set to meet necessary compliance standards.

In closing, TierPioint said that they have built this data center in partnership with Compass Data Centers to assemble a modular design.
