• Site can be used for other
industries we are receive requests
from
• DC Requests
What is a data center?
By Definition
• Facility used to house computer systems
and associated components, such as
telecommunications and storage systems.
It generally includes redundant or backup
power supplies, redundant data
communications connections,
environmental controls (e.g., air
conditioning, fire suppression), and special
security devices.
All Shapes and Sizes…
Why do we need data centers?
• Internet video, corporate disaster recovery
and Federal regulations like HIPPAA are
major drivers for growth.
• Nebraska ranks high in the industries that
are driving this growth, financial services
and healthcare.
• Continuous Reinvestment
• Data Center projects are the fastest
growing field in corporate site selection.
• The Boyd Co., who specializes in corporate
site selection, found that Omaha ranks 9th
for best cities for data centers.
• Costs 40% less to run a data center in
Nebraska than New York.
• Over the next 24 months, more than 80%
of U.S. companies plan to expand their
data centers. - DRT/Campos Research

Nebraska Can Compete
•Many other active projects!
•Lots of inquires for existing space, does not
exist in the Midwest…opportunity!

Microsoft
– 100% Growth per year
– 3x growth in next 5 years
• 15x servers
• 15x power
– Power #1 driver ~ 60% for cooling
• Critical Megawatts
– More than 35 site selection criteria

Site Selection
• Timing is Critical!
• Power - #1 Driver
– Costs
– Redundancy – Not always essential
– Capacity 1MW, 5MW, 10MW, 30MW+
• Telecommunications infrastructure
– Multiple diverse providers are needed
– Large projects are looking at multiple 10 gig
connections (OC-192)
– Dark Fiber is often preferred
– Close proximity to site
•
Water & Sewer availability/capacity
•
Sites
– Any size
– Must be a mile from
• Major rail lines
• Interstate
• Major gas lines
• Airports
– Out of 100 and 500 year flood plain
– Away from residential areas
•
Buildings
– New and Old - All sizes from bunkers to vacant Wal-mart buildings
– “Hardened” Buildings Preferred
•
Proximity to talent and training
•
Commercial air service is helpful, but not essential

Program Overview
• Goal
– To create 4 shovel ready, speculative power
park sites
• Up to $50,000, matched and available for
planning
• Up to $750,000, matched for site
development
– Communities and utility partners have went
above and beyond here
• Must adhere to CDBG guidelines and
national objectives
3 Phase Process
• Phase 1
– Selection of up to 4 sites across NE
• Phase 2
– Site master plan creation
• Phase 3
– Site Development
• **Process piloted by Fremont
Phase 1
•
•
•
•
Started Q4 – 2008 with Pre-applications
Received 13 applications
Internal team visited each site in February
Made a cut to 8 communities based on a
variety of criteria
– 1 mile from rail, airport, interstate, major gas
lines
– Adequate power, fiber, water, and sewer
– Community preparedness
Phase 1 continued
• DED hired consultants to help choose up to
4 sites for Development
– Gensler
– T5 Partners
– CMX
– Hewlett-Packard
• Selected
– Kearney
– Aurora
– South Sioux City
Currently in Phase 2 – Master Planning
• Completed by March 1, 2010 for all sites
• Overall Master Plan Created for each site
• Includes timing, competitive, advantages,
market analysis, marketing plan, virtual
building, ect.
Phase 3 - Development
Completed by Q3, 2010
Broadband Planning and Mapping
Overview Mapping
• Statewide broadband mapping
• Lead by the Public Service Commission
• Goal
– to create a web interface for the public to type in
an address and understand broadband options
and capabilities across Nebraska
– State maps will be integrated into a National Map
and Plan by NTIA and FCC
• Received 9 applications
– Award to Apex
• Majority of data by late Q2
Planning
• Planning is a component of the mapping
process
• Separate application
• Award of up to $500,000
• Submitted by PSC with support by
– The Nebraska Information Technology
Commission Community Council (NITC)
– University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL)
– Nebraska Department of Economic
Development (DED)
Approach
Project partners will identify barriers to the
adoption of broadband and IT services, create
and facilitate local technology planning teams,
and collaborate with broadband service
providers to encourage broadband deployment
and use through the following approaches…
Approach
• Regional planning teams will be formed to conduct
regional assessments, prioritize needs, and develop
strategies to address needs.
• Nebraskans will be surveyed about their computer and
Internet usage, challenges and desires for the future.
• Regional forums will be conducted to present broadband
mapping and mail survey results, to solicit feedback, and
to kick off regional planning efforts.
• Businesses will be surveyed through the Business
Retention and Expansion process to identify the strengths
and challenges they face in utilizing technology.
Approach
• Seven to 10 focus groups will be held with anchor institutions
and utility providers as well as populations with low usage rates
to gain understanding into the barriers from their perspective.
• Use of the Internet and computers will be encouraged through
demonstration workshops and training in collaboration with
the broadband service providers and information technology
companies.
• Regional technology plans as well as a statewide report
and recommendations will be developed and presented to
the Nebraska Information Technology Commission, Nebraska
Public Service Commission, Department of Economic
Development and University of Nebraska Lincoln. These plans
will be made publicly available through the project website.
• 2 Year process
• Staff will be hired and will office at UNL
• Your support is essential
