In the global race for artificial intelligence (AI) dominance, the speed at which government agencies can deploy AI is a key differentiator. QTS is uniquely equipped to support government AI missions, providing immediate access to infrastructure dedicated to federal agencies and their partners.
AI offers seemingly limitless opportunities to strengthen national and economic security, improve workflows, drive efficiencies and allow government leaders to make data-driven decisions quickly to promote our national interests. To deliver the necessary speed to market to drive AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and multi-cloud workloads, the U.S. government is increasing its investments in next-generation data centers and their power inventory. Yet, building or retrofitting massive-scale, high-performance data centers that meet rigorous federal security and compliance standards is time consuming.
QTS has the existing federal-only infrastructure and operational maturity to support intensifying demand and fast-track AI operations for federal clients. The national security community, major cloud service providers (CSPs) and other strategic partners already entrust QTS to host and support community cloud, hardware-as-a-service programs and critical computing infrastructure.
Scale Rapidly with Access to Existing Infrastructure
QTS takes a forward-looking approach to procuring data center infrastructure, making strategic investments in land, power and critical equipment to ensure infrastructure availability. With an existing $1.5 billion investment in sites restricted to government agencies and their partners—and another $3 billion for additional federal infrastructure—QTS offers the fastest, most efficient way for government entities to attain the infrastructure necessary to progress AI missions.
Through our land banking strategy, we continually seek land in key mission locations to stay ahead of federal demand. Additionally, our standardized and modular data center design allows us to lean in to purchase equipment years in advance, avoiding supply chain issues that can impede deployments. Our as-a-service delivery model further enables agencies to scale quickly to support new or growing requirements.
Training and employing AI data also commands massive power capacity with ever-increasing demands. QTS ensures energy contracts are in place to support mounting need, reserving power inventory within our federal-only campuses for government use.
Achieve the Security and Performance Federal AI Workloads Demand
With years of experience and expertise in building, operating and managing secure, high-performance, federally compliant facilities in mission-enabling locations, QTS understands the sensitivity of government workloads. By combining the highest levels of security and compliance for the federal sector with the benefits of commercial data centers, QTS helps government agencies address the dynamic demands and breakneck pace of AI missions.
QTS Federal data centers are purpose-built to meet U.S. government standards, combining physical, technical, and environmental controls in a converged security model. Enclaves with independent access give clients full control to safeguard restricted workloads.
To ensure compliance with federal requirements, our Federal Assurance team is comprised of former government security professionals. We are also proud to be a member of the White House Task Force focused on advancing America’s ability to maintain global leadership in AI.
AI is essential to national and economic security, enabling agencies to monitor threats, deliver critical intelligence, and improve efficiency. QTS invests in the infrastructure that powers federal missions and strengthens U.S. competitiveness in the AI race.
