GIGA Data Centers is a private, US-based colocation operator headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina, focused on modular, high-density data center delivery. Founded in 2018 by industry veteran Jake Ring (whose prior operators include DBSi and DataChambers), the company designs and builds its own containerized POD facilities on a repeatable template, allowing it to stand up capacity on greenfield sites without the multi-year lead times of traditional hyperscale halls. The company's technical differentiator is a proprietary evaporative cooling system it markets as "WindChill", which it says allows the PODs to hold rack densities well above conventional air-cooled colo while maintaining low PUE. That density story has been the basis for GIGA's pitch into GPU and HPC tenants as AI training workloads outgrew standard 5-10 kW cabinets. Its live footprint is anchored by two adjacent buildings in Mooresville, CLT01 and CLT02, each in the single-digit MW range, serving enterprise, cloud and HPC tenants in the greater Charlotte metro. Ownership remains private; GIGA has not disclosed institutional funding rounds of the scale seen at hyperscale-tier developers, and independent capacity, revenue and headcount figures are not published. Public detail beyond company-issued materials is thin, so several fields below are intentionally left absent rather than estimated.
