South Carolina is set to experience significant growth in digital infrastructure as DartPoints, a Texas-based technology company, announces the launch of its expansion strategy following a recent investment from NOVA Infrastructure. This expansion aims to provide scalable, AI-optimized data center solutions tailored for enterprise and high-performance computing needs.
The first phase of this post-investment growth strategy allows DartPoints to add more than 25 megawatts (MW) of utility capacity and extend its operational footprint in key markets, particularly in Greenville and Columbia, with full establishment anticipated by early 2027. Each of the new facilities will be designed to support infrastructure capable of delivering up to 120 kilowatts (kW) per cabinet, allowing businesses to scale rapidly as their needs evolve.
DartPoints is committed to creating flexible facilities that offer a variety of configurations including private suites, cage builds, and cabinets to suit diverse client requirements. The advanced cooling technologies implemented at these data centers will give customers options such as traditional air cooling, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, or hybrid systems to optimize performance according to their specific workloads.
With a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) model training, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and enterprise virtualization, the new data centers will be equipped to ensure high performance, efficiency, and scalability. DartPoints aims to empower enterprises with localized, adaptable infrastructure which enhances access to cutting-edge technology, specifically targeting regions outside of major Tier 1 markets.
As construction is already underway, DartPoints is moving forward with phased deployment schedules through early 2027. This strategic initiative highlights the company’s focus on delivering high-value digital infrastructure within mid-sized and underserved markets, addressing local tech ecosystems while supporting adjacent industries.
The facilities will come ready with AI and HPC capabilities from inception, providing seamless connectivity to popular public cloud platforms and internet exchanges. Companies that rely on high-density colocation and interconnection solutions—including enterprises, managed service providers, and technology platforms—will find significant value in these state-of-the-art facilities.
CEO Scott Willis underscored the organization’s commitment to developing AI-ready environments that align with contemporary business demands. DartPoints’ expansion is designed to fulfill the thermal and performance requirements demanded by next-generation technology, offering advanced cooling solutions ranging from direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems to high-density air conditioning setups.
By enhancing its presence in South Carolina, DartPoints is positioned to be at the forefront of technological advances, enabling enterprise-specific solutions that foster innovation and growth. This strategic move is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the digital landscape of the region, as DartPoints continues to engage with businesses committed to maximizing their technological potential in the evolving digital economy.
In summary, the ongoing development of DartPoints’ data centers in South Carolina represents a significant advancement in providing sophisticated and scalable digital infrastructure. The company is poised to meet the growing demand for high-performance computing solutions and further solidify its role in the technology sector.
