The Midwest is experiencing a data center boom: and Omaha and Sarpy County, Nebraska, are right at the center of it. With tech giants like Meta and Google investing billions into the region, the demand for expert data center connectivity, alternative power solutions, and specialized consulting has never been higher.

Why Omaha & Sarpy County? The Midwest Data Center Advantage
There's a reason major players have chosen this corner of Nebraska for their critical infrastructure. The region offers a unique combination of benefits that make it ideal for data center operations:
- Natural disaster resilience – Nebraska experiences far fewer earthquakes, hurricanes, and severe weather events compared to coastal regions
- Robust fiber network infrastructure – The Omaha area boasts extensive high-speed connectivity options
- Strategic location – Central U.S. positioning reduces latency for nationwide operations

Google has similarly expanded its presence across Lincoln, Omaha, and Papillion. These investments signal long-term confidence in the region's viability as a data center hub.
