Overview

AUBix LLC is a multi-tenant, mission-critical data center that will help bring technology parity to under-served communities in Alabama. The secure, compliant infrastructure will boost efficiency and cost-effectiveness, with carrier-neutral services and deep technology expertise. AUBix is expected to be an economic catalyst for the regions and communities it serves, enabling digital transformation for businesses, supporting healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and academia, and providing access to high-speed internet. AUBix represents the single most significant information technology investment in Auburn in at least the last five years. The project is expected to deliver an investment of more than $120 million total between AUBix and its tenant customers over the next 10 years. AUBix will support high-speed internet access by hosting data-rich, low latency applications closer to end users and becoming an internet exchange for the existing Network Service Providers (NSPs) in the area. This enables NSPs to leverage their high-speed regional and global networks to reduce latency, which improves the performance of internet applications throughout rural communities. Tenants will enjoy turnkey compliance thanks to an infrastructure built to exceed industry standards for cybersecurity, healthcare, and financial services. Certifications for the data center will include CMMC Level 3, HIPAA, and PCI. AUBix will offer 22,000 square feet of available data center space and more than 3 megawatts of critical power capacity across two data halls with redundant power and cooling. The initial 40,000-square-foot buildout includes customer office space, conference rooms, and tenant equipment storage. The six-acre site can be expanded to 100,000+ square feet, providing greater than 12 megawatts total and representing an economic impact of approximately $300 million of investment.
