Redefining the
Future of
Data Centers
High-performance, energy-efficient, and future-ready infrastructure for AI, cloud, and enterprise computing.
What is Atmosphere Data Centers?
Atmosphere is a developer and operator of the greenest and most energy-efficient data centers on Earth.
What Problem is Atmosphere Data Centers Trying to Solve?
The Problem
There’s a severe shortage of colocation capacity and power for data centers.
- AI infrastructure demands more energy and cooling than ever before. Microsoft and Meta warn that existing facilities are nearing obsolescence-driven by the shift to high-density racks and accelerated AI growth. Meta alone anticipates a 4X scale increase.
- At the same time, companies must reduce their carbon footprint—creating a new kind of challenge for deployment at scale.
The Solution
We stay ahead of the curve by securing power early and delivering future-ready infrastructure optimized for AI, efficiency, and sustainability.
- Our site selection, MEP expertise, and design-build approach enable faster deployment.
- We help clients meet AI, energy, and decarbonization goals with proprietary innovations.
Future-ready infrastructure, built today.
