Ring II will serve several Pacific markets including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Guam, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and American Samoa. STACK operates two data centers in Hillsboro. Its latest campus POR03 sits on 35 acres in northwest Hillsboro. It is located 15 miles outside of Portland and offers more than 60MW of potential capacity. STACK also announced the construction of a new 24 MW facility on the site, expected to be finished in mid-2021. Brian Cox, CEO, STACK, said,
“Hillsboro continues to be an exceptionally well-connected, low-latency access point for major international and West Coast availability zones. Our facilities here offer incredible opportunities for scale, and our proximity to the Hillsboro Data Center Ring enables STACK clients to expand their global businesses, particularly in these fast-growing markets.”
