menlo digital: MD-PHX1 (Phoenix)
About MD-PHX1 (Phoenix)
Located at 4801–4811 E. Thistle Landing Drive, Phoenix, Arizona, the MD‑PHX1 (Phoenix) campus is operated by Menlo Digital and sits on a 38-acre site in a low-seismic-risk region of the Phoenix metro area.
The campus consists of five buildings and is served by a dedicated on-site substation with capacity supporting more than 257 MW of utility power and up to 180 MW of critical IT load
Positioned for hyperscale growth, MD-PHX1 is designed for large-scale enterprise and cloud infrastructure, leveraging growing fiber connectivity in the Phoenix region and the state’s data-center incentive framework
Built with high scalability in mind, the facility offers modular, multi-building expansion that supports high-density compute, AI/ML and cloud deployments across a future-ready site.
With its robust infrastructure and strategic location in the U.S. Southwest, the site is ideal for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud deployments.
⚙️ Facility Highlights —
- Utility design supports 257 MW+ of total power capacity and up to 180 MW of critical IT load across the five-building campus.
- High-density compute ready: designed to accommodate modern workloads such as AI/ML, with robust cooling and power infrastructure suited to high rack densities.
- Redundancy architecture and modular design support rapid build-out of data halls with scalable power/cooling zones, enabling growth while maintaining operational resilience.
- Energy-efficient design elements reflect sustainable operations, aligned with low-risk location and infrastructure built for hyperscale environment.
- Modular layout enables incremental expansion of capacity and allows tenants to scale alongside demand for compute, storage and network resources.
🔐 Security & Compliance —
- Multi-layer physical security includes perimeter access control, 24×7 staffed operations, CCTV surveillance, and secure access procedures to protect equipment and data (Menlo Digital’s campus standard).
- Infrastructure built to support enterprise and regulated workloads, aligning with industry best-practice data-centre design for mission-critical IT.
- Designed to support high-availability SLAs, with utility and infrastructure redundancy built-in across the campus to deliver reliable uptime for enterprise, cloud and hyperscale users.
🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —
- Campus is carrier-neutral, providing tenants with access to regional and national fibre providers, multiple network entry points and diverse routing into Phoenix’s growing connectivity ecosystem.
- Designed for cloud-on-ramp and multi-cloud architecture, enabling cross-connects, dark and lit fibre, and network interconnection options for low-latency access across the U.S. Southwest and beyond.
- Strategic location near the Phoenix metro and regional fibre hubs ensures path diversity and latency-advantaged access to western markets, making it ideal for distributed, high-performance deployments.
💼 Who It Serves —
- Hyperscale cloud and AI/ML providers seeking large-scale, high-power infrastructure with future-proof expansion potential.
- Enterprise IT organisations, SaaS and FinTech platforms requiring secure, scalable data-centre capacity with robust network and power infrastructure.
- Managed service providers, content delivery networks (CDNs) and telecom operators looking to deploy in a strategic U.S. Southwest location with carrier-neutral access.
- E-commerce, logistics, digital media and streaming companies needing high-availability infrastructure with scale and connectivity to serve regional and national markets.
- Organisations executing hybrid-cloud or multi-site strategies that demand a resilient, scalable campus in a stable market with low natural-disaster exposure.
