Aligned Data Centers

At Aligned, we live by a customer-first philosophy, where a superior level of hospitality is the standard. That philosophy comes to life across our campuses through experiences designed to strengthen relationships and create meaningful connections. From the data hall to community spaces, every interaction is an opportunity to support our customers in ways that truly matter. By anticipating needs, listening closely, and delivering with care, we’re building more than infrastructure — we’re building trust and long-term partnership. #CustomerSuccess #UnreasonableHospitality #DataCenters #CustomerExperience

We recently welcomed students from Estrella Mountain Community College to our PHX-07 data center for a guided tour of the critical infrastructure that powers our digital world. These future operators, technicians, and engineers experienced firsthand how data centers run 24/7/365 — and how their skills can translate into careers in this growing industry. Thanks to the students for their eagerness and willingness to listen and learn. Your enthusiasm was truly appreciated! #DataCenters #FutureWorkforce #CriticalInfrastructure #STEMCareers #DigitalInfrastructure

Today is National Workforce Development Day, powered by PATHIRED.ORG. It’s a chance to recognize the urgent need for skilled talent across essential industries. As demand for digital infrastructure grows, so does the need for electricians, engineers, technicians, IT specialists, and operations leaders. These are the people who power our data centers and drive the digital economy forward. At Aligned Data Centers, investing in workforce development means more than supporting one initiative. We’re working across multiple fronts to build strong, sustainable pipelines of talent, including: - Partnering with trade schools and community colleges to expand technical training - Supporting scholarships and training through the mikeroweWORKS Foundation (see recent announcement: https://lnkd.in/g3_wCjUD) - Visiting high schools to spark interest in trades and technology careers - Running internships and entry-level programs that get new talent job-ready in months, not years We’re proud to stand with others committed to building inclusive, future-ready teams that will shape the backbone of our digital world. #WorkforceDay25 #WorkforceDevelopment #SkilledTrades #TechCareers #STEM #FutureOfWork

We're excited to partner with Women's Tech Forum and iMWomen for a networking breakfast at #DatacloudUSA. This week, join Mercy Ringelmann Manning in Austin, where she'll be discussing leadership and managing relationships alongside Rhea Williams, CCO of E3 Platforms—a can't-miss conversation. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with fellow women in tech. We hope to see you there. 

From the main stage to the networking floor, Aligned showed up strong at Yotta 2025. Aligned CIO Phill Lawson-Shanks and industry leaders came together to explore how data centers can scale efficiently while managing power, thermal density, and operational risk. The conversation was packed with insights on infrastructure optimization and what operational excellence really looks like in today’s landscape. We kept the momentum going with Industrial Electric Mfg. (IEM), bringing people together to connect, collaborate, and celebrate. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Yotta for creating space for these conversations. #Yotta2025 #DigitalInfrastructure #AI #DataCenters
