The first Avant-branded micro data center is set to be built by Avant Technologies, an artificial intelligence (AI) company that specializes in designing and developing cutting-edge AI infrastructure solutions. The micro data center is intended for private cloud companies operating in the rapidly expanding AI and big data industries.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is where Avant plans to construct its first data center. Avant anticipates that in the first half of 2025, its cutting-edge data center will be operational.
“We are encouraged that the growing early demand for our high-density compute infrastructure is coming from both the on-premises and colocation segments of the private cloud sector,” said Avant Technologies CEO at Timothy Lantz. “It has always been part of our strategy to leverage the power of our technology to eventually operate our own data centers. We believe that rapidly growing demand for new data center capacity, combined with the progress of our solution development over the past 6 months, supports our decision to move up the planned start date for this phase of Avant’s growth strategy.”
Avant decided on Milwaukee as the prime location for their accelerated expansion and prosperity after careful consideration of several key factors. These included a rich pool of top-tier tech talent, a blossoming scene of innovation backed by increasing investments, and unparalleled affordability.
As stated by Avant Technologies, their decision to establish a micro data center in Milwaukee was influenced by the following aspects:
Essentially, Milwaukee emerged as the perfect launching pad for Avant‘s anticipated growth, on the back of its solid digital industry, significant investment foundation, presence of technological giants, growing talent resource, and cost-effectiveness.
