Aligned Data Centers

As we reflect this Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for our employees who drive our mission forward, our customers and partners who put their trust in us, and the communities we have the privilege to support. Happy Thanksgiving.

New episode now available to stream on-demand! Great to join Calibrant Energy and Portland General Electric for this conversation. Matt Chambliss, CPA walked through how our teams shaped our BESS project and why this model supports faster, coordinated growth for large-scale data center campuses.

Last month, team members from across departments came together in Texas for a hands-on leadership lab focused on driving excellence and collaboration across our organization. The program challenged us to think differently, share ideas openly, and strengthen the leadership qualities that shape our culture every day. As part of the experience, we had the opportunity to visit The Star, home of the Dallas Cowboys, where we met with John Hickman, Director of Business Development, and Tom Walker, CFO. Their insights into building a high-performing culture and sustaining excellence offered valuable takeaways for our own journey of continuous improvement. We’re proud to invest in experiences that empower our people, build stronger leaders, and reinforce the principles that drive our success. #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamExcellence #ContinuousImprovement #ProfessionalGrowth #CompanyCulture

AI is redefining the rules of digital infrastructure—and the pace of change is only accelerating. In a recent fireside conversation, Aligned Data Centers CEO Andrew Schaap explored what this transformation means for enterprises, innovators, and the Dallas technology ecosystem. Andrew emphasized that AI isn’t a simple capacity challenge—it’s a full-scale reinvention of how data centers are designed, cooled, powered, and delivered. From liquid-ready, high-density infrastructure to securing gigawatt-scale power and land, the demands of AI are reshaping long-term strategy across the industry. He also highlighted why Dallas-Fort Worth is emerging as one of the most important AI markets in the country, with new developments like DFW-03 and DFW-04 built specifically for next-generation workloads. The conversation makes one thing clear: the companies that will lead in the AI era are the ones redefining infrastructure now—not later. Explore Andrew’s full discussion on what’s next for AI, regulation, and the future of enterprise infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gruPjXnm #AlignedDataCenters #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalInfrastructure #DataCenters #AIEcosystem #DallasTech #Leadership

Innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design, through environments built for hands-on testing, validation, and continuous learning. That’s the purpose of Aligned’s Advanced Cooling Lab. Our team highlights how this facility gives engineers, construction teams, and commissioning specialists early access to the same high-density systems our customers rely on in the field. It’s also where we invest in people. Training teams on the systems they’ll deploy ensures consistency, confidence, and operational excellence across every site. The Lab isn’t just a testing space—it’s an accelerant for innovation and a strategic advantage for our customers. Watch the full lab tour to see how we’re advancing the next generation of adaptive, AI-ready infrastructure. #AlignedDataCenters #DigitalInfrastructure #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #Innovation #Engineering #MissionCritical Tadeu Fagundes Jeffrey Colby Michael Welch

This #WorldQualityWeek, we embrace the theme “Quality: Think Differently”—a call to challenge traditional approaches and explore new ways of achieving excellence. Thinking differently means reimagining how we design, build, and deliver data centers. Through our Partner Quality Program, we collaborate with top-tier companies that share our commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and sustainability. By uniting diverse perspectives and pushing beyond industry standards, we’re redefining what quality looks like—and building data centers that are second to none. #WorldQualityWeek #DataCenters #Innovation #ContinuousImprovement #Collaboration #Sustainability

At Aligned, we’re honored to work alongside so many veterans — individuals whose leadership, resilience, and sense of duty inspire us every day. Currently, nearly 30% of Aligned’s employees are veterans. We’re proud to support veterans beyond our walls through our partnerships with The Honor Foundation, which helps service members successfully transition into civilian careers, and as a sponsor for Folds of Honor in Dallas, providing educational scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members. These initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to those who have given so much. To all who have served and continue to serve: we thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your commitment. #VeteransDay #ThankYouForYourService #CommunityOfVeterans #HonoringOurHeroes
