FACILITY OPERATOR
QTS explicitly positions liquid cooling as part of its hyperscale offering to handle AI-era rack densities, stating that its cooling solutions are designed for cooling-intensive workloads such as AI. Its newest campus announcements lean heavily on AI-driven demand as the rationale for expansion — for example, the Cedar Rapids, Iowa hyperscale campus is being built with waterless cooling and framed around the industry's growing AI infrastructure needs, and QTS has also announced a large planned campus in Clinton, Iowa tied to future hyperscale/AI growth. These are announced or under-construction sites rather than a distinct, AI-only product line — QTS remains a general hyperscale/wholesale colocation provider that is adapting existing and new facilities toward AI-capable density rather than operating as a pure AI-native colocation company.
Yes — QTS markets liquid cooling explicitly for AI. Its liquid cooling solutions are designed to meet growing cooling-intensive workload demands such as AI. Its newest hyperscale campus announcements, such as the Cedar Rapids, Iowa project, are also framed around AI-era demand, with the company stating it chose the site partly because as AI continues to transform industries, the need for secure and scalable infrastructure has never been more critical, and that the campus will use waterless cooling.
QTS was a publicly traded REIT (NYSE: QTS) until it was taken private. QTS became a public company in 2013 and was taken private in 2021, when funds managed by Blackstone completed the acquisition of QTS Realty Trust on August 31, 2021.
QTS's only non-US operations are in the Netherlands. On April 30, 2019, QTS acquired two operating data centers in Groningen and Eemshaven, Netherlands, for approximately $44 million. It has since expanded there significantly, building a new hyperscale facility (EEMSDC2) next to its original Eemshaven site.
The Richmond-area facility was originally a semiconductor plant. QTS converted the former Qimonda semiconductor site in Richmond, Virginia into a 1.3 million square foot mega data center.
