Thanks to its serene natural climate, abundance of IT resources and ease of travel, many of America’s largest companies now maintain a datacenter footprint here.
Las Vegas residents don’t have to worry about earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, snowstorms, severe flooding and other natural disasters for which most major cities must plan. Plus, the high elevation makes it more temperate than most desert cities, including Phoenix. Altogether, it’s the perfect environment for a datacenter—and in Internet time it’s only a few milliseconds from the big markets in California.
As the technology industry has expanded in Las Vegas, it has become a hub for IT service providers, cloud companies and technology vendors, and offers robust power and connectivity.
Getting here is easy—McCarran International Airport is one of the busiest in North America, with direct flights connecting Las Vegas to every part of the United States and major international hubs.
