This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Water. Ritter describes 'modular-inline cooling and clean-agent fire-extinguishing systems.' Modular in-row cooling is a recirculating-circuit design rather than an evaporative one; recorded as closed_loop on that basis, but Ritter does not state a heat-rejection method explicitly, so this value is an inference from the stated equipment type and should be re-checked against a design document before being relied on.
What the source record says
Neither Ritter release gives the Data Technology Center's street address; both say only 'Jonesboro.' The pin is an OpenStreetMap geocode of Ritter's published Jonesboro address, 2400 Ritter Drive (OSM now labels that point 'RightFiber', Ritter's rebranded business), used as a company-campus-level approximation. The DTC has NOT been confirmed to sit at that address, so no street or postalCode is recorded. The two Ritter releases give different square footage (8,882 SF at groundbreaking, 8,544 SF at opening) and different rack counts (60 vs 82 full racks) - both are recorded verbatim in statusHistory rather than reconciled. Small (0.75 MW) carrier/colocation facility, comparable in scale to the already-tracked TierPoint Little Rock record.
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
- 2019-04-30 · source-reported under construction
Ritter Communications broke ground on the $8 million Data Technology Center in Jonesboro; the release describes an 8,882 SF facility with .75 MW of power, a 20-seat secure network operations center and capacity for 60 full racks plus four cages of four racks each.
- 2020-11-30 · source-reported operational
Ritter announced the opening of the completed facility, describing 8,544 SF, .75 MW power with N+2 dual-fuel backup, biometric security, clean-agent fire suppression, carrier-neutral fiber, HIPAA/PCI/SOC 2 compliance, and capacity for 82 full racks plus four cages of four racks each - 'the first service provider-grade data center to serve Northeast Arkansas businesses.'

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.
