Strategic Expansion AUBix is developing a 22,000 square foot data center with over 3 MW of power capacity in Auburn, Alabama, with potential expansion to over 12 MW across 100,000+ square feet. This signals opportunities to position enterprise-grade colocation, disaster recovery, and near-user latency solutions for regional partners and tenants in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and academia.

Digital Inclusion Catalyst The project aims to bring high-speed internet and technology parity to underserved Alabama communities and to serve as an internet exchange for local NSPs. This creates sales avenues for connectivity services, network optimization, peering arrangements, and managed IT offerings targeted at rural enterprises and public sector customers.

Compliance Ready The data center is designed to exceed industry standards with certifications including CMMC Level 3, HIPAA, and PCI. This presents opportunities to target government contractors, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other regulated industries with secure hosting, backup, and compliance-driven DR/BC solutions.

Strategic Partnerships Recent and ongoing partnerships with Windstream Wholesale and Auburn University indicate a channel-friendly path and potential for expanded customer funnels. Engage in co-selling with NSPs, MSPs, higher-ed researchers, and enterprise clients seeking local data residency and proximity-based services.

Economic Impact Projected investment of over $120 million with downstream tenant spend and an estimated regional economic impact up to $300 million signals strong air for multi-tenant managed services, cloud, and colocation bundles, as well as opportunities to enroll regional system integrators and service providers as facilitators for tenant deployments.
