There\u2019s yet another reason to \u2018like\u2019 Altoona, now that Facebook has opened its third data center in our city. With state-of-the-art systems and revolutionary design, this center\u2019s the biggest and best of the three, adding to Altoona\u2019s growing profile of forward-thinking companies. The software giant\u2019s big move is the latest example of how Altoona\u2019s building what\u2019s next. Our business community is growing, and it\u2019s happening now.<\/p>\n

Construction was quick, thanks to our experienced local workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the fastest we\u2019ve ever completed a first building at one of our sites,\u201d said Brice Towns, site manager. \u201cWe owe a lot of that to the people of Iowa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building the facility was quick, but Facebook\u2019s new data center is anything but simple. Energy-efficient cooling systems, taking advantage of Altoona\u2019s state-of-the-art infrastructure to keep the data storage drives running smoothly.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than the sum of its parts. Unlike past data centers, the new Altoona-based facility operates as a single, high-performance network. It\u2019s one big, powerful computer, and this streamlined system allows Facebook to increase its network capacity.<\/p>\n

All of this next-level design helps Facebook store massive data and run efficiently. So, when you upload pictures of your business\u2019 grand Altoona opening, Facebook can keep track of your many \u2018likes.\u2019<\/p>\n

The center, located north of Interstate Highway 80 and west of Northeast 56th Street, is part of Facebook\u2019s global information storage system. The Altoona-based facility complements other major centers in Oregon, North Carolina and Sweden. With this big move, Altoona\u2019s developing into part of a powerful global network.<\/p>\n

Other tech powerhouses are making Iowa home, too. In addition to Altoona\u2019s $1.5 billion Facebook complex, Microsoft and Google are spending a combined $3.5 billion on Iowa-based facilities. Major businesses see that Altoona is happening, and many are making our community home. With a strong Iowa workforce, strategic location and powerful infrastructure, there\u2019s only question: What will be Altoona\u2019s next big thing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
