How much water and electricity do our data centers really use? Data centers create new jobs, use significantly less water than golf courses and car washes, and don't drive up electricity rates.

We are committed to protecting the environment, contributing to the fabric of communities, and building a better future for all.

    The cloud—powered by data centers—enables everything from emergency 911 dispatch and storing medical records to streaming your favorite shows. And as AI continues to evolve, it will help solve some of humanity's greatest challenges, much like personal computers and the internet did before it. Our data centers are the foundation making that possible.
