Metro Atlanta has a heavily-concentrated telecommunications infrastructure.
Atlanta: A Major IP Node on All Major Providers’ Networks
Atlanta is an important location for major IP network providers. Most major North American and global fiber network carriers have IP peering nodes in Atlanta.
Atlanta: A major IP node on all major provider’s network mapNTT IP Network Example
Atlanta is the major interconnection point on the Eastern seaboard between New York and Miami and on to South America. Metro Atlanta ranks in the top five U.S. markets for total bandwidth and fiber access. Two of the country’s largest fiber routes – North/South and East/West – cross in metro Atlanta. On January 2015, Google announced expansion of its fiber network to four more cities, including Atlanta. Upon completion, Atlanta will be home to 3,000 miles of Google fiber optic cable.
The Southeast’s largest concentration of telecommunications companies sits at the heart of Downtown Atlanta.

Georgia is low risk for natural disasters.
Enormous $2.5 billion data campus planned for metro Atlanta
Las Vegas-based Switch said Thursday it will develop a more than 1 million-square-foot campus it calls “The Keep” that will be among the most advanced in the nation and the fourth in what it calls its “Prime” campuses in the U.S.
“The new facility will give Switch’s more than 700 clients redundant “Tier IV Gold” data center facilities on the East Coast, in an area that is protected from natural disasters such as hurricanes.
The complex will be 100 percent powered by renewable energy sources, and the company is working with Georgia Power to attain that goal.”
Adam Kramer, Executive Vice President of Strategy, Switch

Risk Avoidance – Earthquakes
Natural disaster risks, including risks of seismic-related weather impacts, are low in Georgia. There are no active fault lines in the area.

Georgia’s favorable business climate keeps data center operations competitive.
Georgia has a long history of being business-friendly and its tax structure helps make the state one of the most cost competitive in the country.
In Georgia, corporate income tax is based only on sales within the state, so the capital investment and payroll attributed to data center operations do not create an income tax burden.
Sales tax is a reasonable 6 to 9 percent in the Atlanta area, and there is a special sales-and-use tax exemption for qualifying high technology companies that spend $15 million within any calendar year on qualified computer hardware and software. In addition, software applications uniquely designed to meet the needs of a given business enterprise are not subject to sales tax.
Property taxes are favorable, with effective rates ranging from $5.5 to $24 per $1,000 of fair market value across the region. Larger data center projects may be able to negotiate property tax relief for land, building and equipment. Georgia Power economic development professionals will facilitate this process for you.
Another local incentive is accelerated permitting. Given the concentration of mission-critical facilities in the metro Atlanta area, local governments are experienced in fast-track permitting for data centers.
Lower Costs Attract Companies
The cost of living and cost of business are favorable in metro Atlanta, generally falling well below the U.S. average, which is unusual for such a large metropolitan area.

Atlanta is a technology hub with nearly 54,000 IT professionals.
Talent Acquisition
While IT talent is abundant in metro Atlanta, salaries tend to be moderate, compared with other metropolitan markets due, in part, to cost of living below the national average.
Local Expertise in Specialized Data Center Technology
A number of metro Atlanta universities offer the gold standard certification for data centers – the Certification in Cyber Defense Education, Cyber Defense Research and Information Assurance as certified by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. Seven universities, Armstrong State University, Augusta University, Columbus State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Kennesaw State University, Middle Georgia State University and the University of North Georgia are National Centers of Academic Excellence in either of these fields. The Georgia Tech Information Security Center (www.gtisc.gatech.edu) is a leader in research involving secure future applications and deployment of quality-of-information assurance. Kennesaw State University offers graduate certificates in Information Security & Assurance.
