Aligned Data Centers: PHX-05 Data Center

The PDX‑05 Data Center, operated by Aligned Data Centers, is located in the heart of the Portland/Hillsboro metro area — offering proximity to the Pacific Northwest’s key connectivity and technology hub.

Situated in a low-seismic-risk zone in Oregon with access to abundant renewable power sources and advanced fiber-optic routes to Asia-Pacific and major U.S. markets. 

The facility is designed specifically for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud workloads — its architecture supports adaptive modular expansion, high-density racks and efficient cooling systems.

With sustainable engineering as a foundation (including closed-loop chilled water systems, modular cooling systems and renewable energy sourcing) the site supports eco-aware deployments. 

Ideal for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud deployments seeking scalability, high reliability and strategic West Coast location.

⚙️ Facility Highlights —

• Critical power capacity at the Hillsboro campus is planned for up to 108 MW across the campus; the initial building delivers around 72 MW of critical IT load. 
• Supports high-density deployments including liquid cooling and AI/ML workloads via Aligned’s advanced cooling architecture (Delta³™ air-cooling arrays and secondary loops for liquid cooling).
• Redundancy design adheres to Tier III or equivalent standard with N+1 or better configurations across power, cooling and distribution systems. 
• Built with modular, adaptive infrastructure allowing rapid expansion of white space and power capacity without disruption.
• Energy-efficient infrastructure: low-water-use cooling systems, access to 100 % renewable power options, and siting in a mild climate to reduce cooling loads

🔐 Security & Compliance —

• Multi-layer physical security featuring 24×7 onsite security staff, fixed and PTZ CCTV covering interior/exterior, biometric access controls and Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA).
• Fire-zone protection with dual interlocking pre-action systems and zoned fire suppression. 
• Meets industry­leading availability SLAs for uptime, designed for enterprise-grade reliability and concurrent maintainability.
• Compliance-ready infrastructure supporting certifications including ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH and NIST 800-53 framework

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —

• Carrier-neutral facility offering access to multiple local, regional and international network providers, with dark fiber, lit fiber and dense cross-connect options
• Strategic proximity to major West Coast markets (Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles) and subsea cable landings that enable low-latency connectivity to Asia-Pacific. 
• Multiple path-diverse fiber routes into the facility, enabling robust connectivity and redundant network architecture for content, cloud and telecom customers.
• Seamless cloud on-ramps with direct access to major public cloud providers, enabling hybrid models for enterprise and SaaS customers.

💼 Who It Serves —

• Hyperscale cloud and AI/ML platform providers looking for large-scale expansion capacity with high-density support.
• Enterprises and SaaS companies needing colocation, bare metal and IaaS from a trusted operator in the Pacific Northwest.
• Telecom, carrier and network operators that require premium connectivity, low latency and regional diversification.
• Media, content and streaming platforms that depend on high-performance, scalable infrastructure and global delivery networks.
• Organizations scaling digital operations in the region—manufacturing, IoT, fintech and edge-enabled use cases requiring efficient, resilient infrastructure.
