Brandon Data Center Knowlwedge Base

Data centers are buildings that house processors that supports digital functions, like cloud storage, texting, streaming video, medical and bank records, and Artificial Intelligence computing.

AI helps computers learn from information and make decisions, i.e. when your phone suggests the fastest route home on GPS or enhanced diagnostics in healthcare. Data centers provide the computing power needed to train and run these AI tools. They use specialized equipment, cooling systems, and AI to optimize these workloads while meeting environmental standards and conserving water.

AVAIO IN BRANDON

AVAIO Digital’s new Brandon data center campus will be named AVAIO Digital Taurus and will provide new workforce development opportunities in the state while also providing a variety of jobs for Brandon’s workforce.  

Once fully equipped, the facility will support computer server, networking and data storage technologies that power cloud computing and artificial intelligence applications. Entergy Mississippi will provide reliable power for the project.

Data centers generate sustained local revenue that supports schools, public safety, and critical infrastructure. Their development creates construction and skilled trades jobs, followed by long-term technical roles once operational. Local suppliers, contractors, and service providers also benefit as they grow alongside these facilities.
