Great Falls-based Vision Net utilizes edge data centers to reduce grid impacts and improve AI latency
Data centers generate significant tax money, but critics fear their detrimental impact on energy and water resources.
Vision Net, a statewide fiber optic network provider headquartered in Great Falls, operates a half dozen data centers in Montana. The company shares a vision that could lessen the effects of large-scale hyperscale data centers.
“We’ve been in the data center business a little over 20 years now,” company president and CEO Rob Worden said.
“With all the advances in A.I. and the technologies that are there coming to the foreground, we’re evolving those centers to support those needs here in Montana,” Worden said.
Collectively, Vision Net operates in 24 states. In Montana, they operate “edge” data centers in Great Falls, Helena, Billings, and Missoula.
