Unprecedented growth and innovation
2023 was a year of remarkable growth for Flexential. We significantly expanded our data center capacity, establishing new facilities in key markets such as Atlanta, GA, and Hillsboro, OR. Our innovative interconnection solutions complement these expansions, particularly the introduction of Flexential Fabric, which has set new standards for scalable, on-demand network provisioning. This period also saw us secure $2.1 billion in financing, marking our largest-ever inaugural data center ABS issuance. This financial milestone allowed us to add 50 MW of capacity with new high-density data centers optimized for AI workloads. Additionally, we enhanced our national data center footprint and network backbone by expanding our FlexAnywhere Platform.
Commitment to sustainability
Sustainability remains at the core of our operations. Our next-generation data centers are designed for high efficiency, featuring a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.4 and zero Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). These advancements align with our Green Finance Program and broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. Our inaugural ESG report outlined our dedication to responsible growth, highlighting our efforts to create energy-efficient data centers with modular designs and advanced cooling solutions tailored for demanding AI applications.
Cultivating a strong organizational culture
Our internal transformation is just as significant as our external achievements. We have fostered a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration, launching leadership programs to engage and unite our workforce. Our high annual engagement and diversity survey scores reflect this commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B).
