What the source record says
7300 E Pleasant Valley Rd, Independence, Cuyahoga County (Cleveland metro). Rebranded from Involta to Ark Data Centers May 15, 2024 (Carlyle-backed). Fiber-ring-connected to the company's Akron facilities for real-time twinned services, per the City of Independence's own economic development page (independent of operator marketing). A single third-party directory cites 1.5MW capacity, uncorroborated elsewhere — omitted from capacityMw rather than stated as fact. No source supports a Tier rating or 2N+ UPS claim for this specific site (an unrelated "Cleveland" line item on the operator's own rollup page does not reconcile with this facility's known footprint) — no Tier/redundancy field set. No AI/HPC-specific marketing found.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
