We’ve seen a lot in the news lately about “data centers.” But what exactly are they, and why should Arizonans care?
Think of a data center as a digital warehouse—a secure, high-powered facility where the information that drives our modern lives is stored and managed. From the apps on your smartphone to streaming services, rideshare platforms, cloud-based work tools, banking systems, and national defense network—it all runs on data, and that data needs a home.
That home is increasingly being built right here in Arizona.
Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy. They ensure we stay connected, productive, and competitive. As artificial intelligence grows at an exponential pace and more industries digitize their operations, the demand for secure, high-capacity data storage has never been greater. Without data centers, our way of life—both economically and in terms of national security—simply doesn’t function.
