DataBank is putting down even more roots in the Atlanta metro as the company continues its mission to meet the region’s growing customer demand for critical IT infrastructure. And although DataBank is certainly no stranger to expansion, this one is unique for two significant reasons. First, this is the second expansion DataBank has announced in the Atlanta market in the past six months, coming on the heels of the company’s December 2021 disclosure that it was doubling the raised floor capacity of its ATL2/3 complex in Atlanta’s West End. Second, this build will become the company’s first expandable property in the Atlanta metro. 

“Long ago, we could see that Atlanta was becoming a preeminent data center market and we’re proud to be part of the city’s continued business and tech community growth.” — Raul K. Martynek, DataBank’s CEO

DataBank, the leading provider of enterprise-class colocation, interconnection, and managed services, recently purchased 18 acres of land and an existing data center facility located at 200 Selig Drive in suburban Atlanta GA. The property will become the future home of the “Lithia Springs Campus,” as well as ATL4 – DataBank’s 4th data center in the market.  

“ATL4 and the Lithia Springs Campus will greatly expand our capacity to serve the mission-critical IT infrastructure needs of customers in the Atlanta metro.” — Raul K. Martynek 

By purchasing the property, DataBank furthers its strategy of owning and controlling the real estate beneath its data centers, accelerates the pace at which it can bring online new capacity, and extends its already deep commitment to the Atlanta market. The campus will be tethered via dark fiber to DataBank’s existing ATL2/3 complex, which houses key connectivity nodes from Zayo Networks and other providers for metro, regional, and long-haul capacity.
