Author: Simon Rowley

Aligned Data Centers, a technology infrastructure company offering innovative, sustainable and adaptive scale data centres, has announced its expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro Area with a new data centre campus in Mansfield, Texas.

Aligned’s DFW-03, situated on a 27-acre site with an on-site substation, is strategically positioned to meet rising demand for AI, cloud and enterprise applications. Initial capacity is anticipated to be available as early as Q4 2025, providing customers with rapid access to critical infrastructure.

“The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex provides the ideal foundation for Aligned’s continued expansion,” says Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned. “We are thrilled to bring our innovative data centre solutions to Mansfield. Our focus will be on delivering the high-performance infrastructure our customers require to power their AI / cloud workloads and support the highest-density GPUs, with near-term power availability.”

Aligned is strategically positioned to lead the next phase of data centre development. With over a decade of innovation in cooling technologies and 5,000+ MW of future capacity, the company is uniquely equipped to deliver the speed, scale, and quality of infrastructure customers require to succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Aligned’s DFW-03 leverages Aligned’s proven adaptive modular infrastructure, accelerating deployments through prefabrication of components and on-site delivery of critical equipment. This flexible design approach minimises cost and risk while enhancing sustainability and quality. It also empowers customers with the flexibility to optimise their deployments for various workloads, including AI, cloud, and enterprise applications, by tailoring density, resiliency, and redundancy. The data centre also features Aligned’s proprietary air and liquid cooling technologies, enabling customers to easily transition from air-cooled to liquid-cooled systems, or deploy hybrid cooling within the same data hall, to accommodate densities upwards of 350 kW per rack.

As part of Aligned’s long-standing commitment to environmental and community stewardship, the company also established the ‘Roots for the Future Fund’ in partnership with the City of Mansfield. This fund supports city development, as well as the planting of native trees in the local area, providing shade, improving air quality, and enhancing the overall sustainability of the community.

“Aligned Data Centers has continued to show that it’s more than a business with a location in Mansfield,” said City of Mansfield Mayor, Michael Evans. “With the Roots for the Future Fund, the company is adding another stitch to the fabric of Mansfield as a neighbour and community leader.”

Andrew Schaap concludes, “We are incredibly grateful for the collaborative spirit of the City of Mansfield, as well as the warm welcome we’ve received from the Mansfield community. This partnership has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. Aligned is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and looks forward to our continued collaboration with the community to support local initiatives and contribute to the continued growth, prosperity and sustainability of the region.”
