Amazon appears to be planning to additional expand its datacenter footprint in the US to satisfy growing demand for cloud computing companies.

Based on a new proposal (PDF) submitted to the Metropolis of Gilroy in Santa Clara County, California, the cloud computing giant is planning to invent a new region that will eventually house two datacenter buildings.

These new data centers would expand AWS availability on the West Coast and each is planned to have a capacity of up to 49MW of gear plus a security building and backup generator facilities according to a new document from The Register.

Amazon also announced last month that it may presumably exercise £1.8bn ($2.36bn) over the following two years to expand its data centers in the UK. At the same time, Google lately announced its personal plans to invest $9.5bn on each workplace and datacenter infrastructure projects in the US this year.

Gilroy Data Center facilityAmazon’s new Gilroy Data Center (GDC) facility in California will probably be constructed in two phases if given the whisk-ahead by the Metropolis of Gilroy.

The company expects the first phase that may consist of a single-story datacenter building, an onsite substation, a security building and a battery vitality storage machine to be operational by 2023. Phase two will involve creating another single-story datacenter building that is 218,000 square feet and it is expected to be built within four to seven years following the completion of phase one depending on buyer demand.

While the phase one data center will exercise diesel-fired backup generators, Amazon intends to exercise alternative backup generation technologies for its phase two data center. One of many reasons for this is attributable to the fact that the company’s new facility will probably be located on farmland appropriate outdoors of Gilroy that it purchased back in 2020 for $31.3m.

Based on local media stories although, the Metropolis of Gilroy is in the technique of soliciting bids from outdoors consultants in an effort to determine the potential environmental impact of Amazon’s Gilroy Data Center facility ahead of granting approval for the challenge.

We’ll probably hear extra from Amazon if and when its new Gilroy Data Center facility is approved and moves on to the enchancment phase.
