These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
Colocation built inside a hardened 1960s AT&T AUTOVON communications bunker in farmland north of Des Moines. The operator describes over 65,000 sq ft, five stories underground, three-foot reinforced concrete, 2N+2 redundant air handling filtered to 0.3 microns, and layered biometric and mantrap security. Coordinates come from the Iowa DNR facility record, which documents 20 m locational accuracy; the operator's website lists a West Des Moines corporate address (4350 Westown Pkwy) that is not the facility.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2007 · source-reported operational
Trade press reported the facility in service with its first colocation clients as of 2007, following a multi-million-dollar rebuild of the bunker.

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.
