Central Alabama Datacenter and I85 Cyber Corridor Community member AUBIX signs and on boards new customer Core Scientific, Inc. As a result of this effort Core Scientific, Inc., a publicly traded company and leader in providing digital infrastructure for high-performance computing, is expanding the AUBIX Datacenter facility with an initial investment of $135 Million and an expected total investment of $400 Million.
The 40,000-square-foot facility located on West Samford Avenue in Auburn, AL originally launched back in March of 2022. Core Scientific will launch as a customer of AUBIX at a capacity of 16 megawatts with the potential for further expansion. Although a customer of AUBIX, Core Scientific has hired 11 former AUBIX employees on a full-time basis and plans to grow its team to a minimum of 20 full-time employees as it begins the process of taking over operation of the entire AUBIX facility. This type of recruitment effort has always been core to the operational tenants of AUBIX where its founders have always viewed its datacenter as a place for the conduction of workforce development efforts in the enterprise datacenter and Internetworking spaces. AUBIX CEO, Andrew Albrecht recently discussed the particulars of this effort with team members from Data Center Dynamics . To learn more about this initiaitve click on the DCD promotional media below
