NTT Global Data Centers Americas spotlights their new Phoenix data centre in Arizona designed to deliver scalable power configurations for its clients

Rising from the heat of the Arizona desert is a vast campus which has been designed to be flexible and scalable for clients of NTT Global Data Centers Americas . The 102-acre campus is taking shape in the form of NTT Phoenix PH1 - the first of seven planned data centres on the site .

Historically , the Phoenix economy was known for its ‘ Five C ’ s ’ - cotton , cattle , citrus , climate , and copper , but with the arrival of these data centres , aptly located on the Elliot Road Technology Corridor , 30 minutes from the city ’ s Sky Harbor International Airport , another C will be joining the list - connectivity .
NTT Global Data Centers Americas ( NTT ) was quick to seize the opportunity of creating their latest campus in the desert landscape , allowing them the luxury of space , which will benefit their clients seeking a scalable site - especially those on the west coast looking for a new location .
“ The new campus has substantial expansion capability which will enable us to build out and benefit our clients ,” said Brittany Miller , VP Design , Construction and Supply Chain at NTT Global Data Centers Americas who lives 20 minutes from the campus and watched with interest as her first campus project with NTT rose from the desert dust .
“ Our build-to-suit design responds to client specific requirements for data centre builds . It ' s not a one size fits all anymore - being able to adapt and rapidly implement
