Carrier-neutral colocation facility in downtown Des Moines: 30,000 total sq ft with 10,000 sq ft of white space, 2N electrical distribution with concurrently maintainable components, backup generators carrying 32 hours of on-site fuel, FM-200 suppression, and a structure the operator says is built to withstand an F3 tornado. Aureon was formerly Iowa Network Services.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
