Edged Kansas City, a state-of-the-art $143 million data center, has officially opened and will deliver 26 MW of capacity to the region.

The new facility is located at 3420 North Arlington Avenue near downtown Kansas City. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday where Governor Mike Parson, Kansas City and Clay County officials and others gave remarks on the data center.

“Edged’s new facility in Kansas City is the latest example of a leading, high-tech employer choosing Missouri,” Parson said in a release. “All across our state, innovative companies are recognizing that we have what it takes to ensure their success – including a strategic location, strong infrastructure, and a skilled workforce.”

Edged Kansas City uses zero water and 74% less energy overhead than conventional facilities, according to the release. All Edged data centers are outfitted with a ThermalWorks waterless cooling system which uses no water and is expected to save nearly 95 million gallons of water each year.
