Provider notes
Water. Operator describes redundant chillers plus redundant compressors supporting free-air cooling, with hot/cold aisle separation.
What the source record says
The operator states that for security reasons the facility's exact address is not publicly disclosed, and places it in Lake Park; its corporate office is 1501 35th Ave W, Spencer. Business Record lists the data center against the Spencer corporate address (9,000 sq ft, in service 2011), so the two sources disagree on which town holds the building. Coordinates are the Lake Park municipal centroid and are approximate accordingly. Cooling type is inferred from the operator's own description of a chilled, recirculating plant, per the recirculating-circuit tie-breaker.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
