Park Location, Energy, Connectivity and Human Resources

Prairie Bunkers Data Center Park is strategically located near Hastings, Grand Island and Aurora, Nebraska, close to Interstate 80. Google, eBay, Microsoft and Yahoo have recently made installation commitments along this corridor in Des Moines, Council Bluffs and Omaha. Other data-centric companies such as IBM, Qwest, Time-Warner and numerous co-location companies have data centers in the Denver area.

Benefits of this corridor include:

  • a stable electric grid with very low power cost
  • close proximity and access to two major transcontinental fiber routes
  • redundant fiber connectivity from multiple long-haul providers
  • isolation from threats of floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires
  • rural area less susceptible to the threat of terrorism

Tornadoes do not pose a threat to Prairie Bunkers due to military-grade design.
