ABC News featured DataBank’s Orangeburg, New York data center construction in a comprehensive look at digital infrastructure supporting AI and enterprise computing. The 30-megawatt facility, located 25 miles north of Manhattan, showcases purpose-built design ensuring zero downtime through redundant power systems, dedicated cooling infrastructure, and proximity to electrical substations.
