Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Northern Virginia the world's largest data centre market?
AWS US-East-1 anchors in Ashburn (largest cloud region globally), pulling massive cloud-adjacent demand. Equinix Ashburn campus has 400+ participants. Federal proximity attracts DoD, IC and contractor tenants. Loudoun County hosts 115+ data centres across 27+ million sq ft.
Ashburn vs Manassas vs Reston — which?
Ashburn for cloud-adjacency and Equinix ecosystem premium. Manassas for hyperscale at lower $/kW (QTS, Iron Mountain, Aligned anchor). Reston for federal-adjacent (DoD, IC, government contractor) tenants needing FedRAMP/IL5/IL6.
What's the construction pipeline?
79+ data centres currently under construction in NoVA. Major capex cycle driven by AI workloads. Power constraints (Loudoun grid) and political pushback emerging — counties reviewing data centre policies. New builds increasingly target Manassas, Stafford, Spotsylvania.
Is NoVA good for AI workloads?
Yes — particularly because AWS US-East-1 hosts the largest concentration of NVIDIA H100s in any cloud region. For training workloads needing US-East-1 integration, Ashburn-adjacent is the natural choice. For pure training-only, alternatives like Salt Lake City may offer better economics.
