A Smart Location
When most people and businesses think of data centers, they think of large city’s or Silicon Valley, for Ontario specifically most would think of Toronto. But what if we expand past those crowded hubs and the next player in secure, high-performance server hosting was located here? Thunder bay is a strategic, sustainable, and cost-effective location that gives a new edge in this industry, its a place that has great potential to thrive and become a new center for data management.
A Smart Location
Cool Climate = Lower Costs
The biggest challenge for any data center is cooling the equipment. Keeping racks of high-performance equipment from overheating requires a massive amount of cooling which in most places takes a lot of energy driving up the cost. But we can use the environment to help. Thunder Bay has a naturally cold climate that allows for free cooling throughout most of the year as we would utilize the climate to cool the servers rather than electrical means reducing the final cost for future clients. Less reliance on artificial cooling means better sustainability and efficiency—two things tech industries are prioritizing more than ever.
Green Without the Extra Cost
Many data centers are forced to rely on fossil fuels or pay a premium for renewable energy. Thunder Bay is different. It benefits from Ontario’s hydroelectric power, which is not only clean but also cost -effective. Sustainability isn’t just a saying—its an advantage. By setting up in thunder bay, we can offer lower operational costs while reducing environmental impact. That’s a win-win for any business looking to host their infrastructure with a provider that is sustainable.
Solving a Major Latency Problem
Most Canadian data centers are clustered in the south and east, leaving huge gaps in coverage for businesses and users in northern and western Canada. This means there will be latency issues, slower performance, and because of the lack of local infrastructure there will be an increased reliance on distant facilities. Thunder Bay is perfect to start bridging that gap. By placing new infrastructure here, we can provide faster connections for businesses that have been dependent on slow and distant connections from traditional data center locations. For enterprise hosting, cloud computing, even gaming, proximity matters—and we are bringing that speed closer to where its needed.
Affordable Expansion Without Compromise
Toronto and Vancouver have sky-high real estate and power costs. That extra cost gets placed on the clients to make up for, and if they are already paying for extra speed at a larger distance that cost adds up. Thunder Bay gives a better solution—lower land costs, room to expand, and no congestion you would find at a major metro area. So, instead of fighting for space, we are building something new, efficient, and scalable.
An Investment in Thunder Bay’s Future
Beyond the advantages above, this project is also bringing something new to the city. Thunder Bay has long been known for its forestry, education, and transportation sectors, but the tech industry still has room and potential to develop. By building a cutting-edge data center, we are investing in the regions future—creating jobs, attracting tech businesses, and setting a new foundation for the digital world in Northern Ontario.
A Vision for the Future
This isn’t just about building another data center, there are many across the country and even the world! But its about showing that the best locations aren’t always the most obvious and completely changing the status quo. Thunder Bay offers the right mix of climate, energy, connectivity, and opportunity to build a world-class facility that serves businesses across Canada and beyond. The vision is clear. The potential is there. And I will build it here—where it makes the most sense. If this looks exciting and you wish to be a part of this go to the contact page and reach out to us via email. Big things are coming to this city so become a part of it!
