STACK Infrastructure is a global leader in digital infrastructure, providing scalable solutions for the world's most innovative companies. With facilities across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific, STACK delivers a wide array of services, including hyperscale campuses (HYPERSTACK), wholesale colocation and private suites (READYSTACK), and powered shell solutions (POWERSTACK). The CHIA01A data center, located in Elk Grove, Illinois, is a prime example of STACK’s purpose-built infrastructure tailored for performance and connectivity.
CHIA01A is strategically positioned near O’Hare International Airport, several major fiber providers, and the city of Chicago. This location enables low-latency connectivity across the Midwest, making it a desirable hub for enterprises seeking high-speed access to regional markets.
The CHIA01A facility spans 221,000 square feet and is a purpose-built structure designed specifically for data center operations. It supports up to 13 MW of fully built-out power capacity, with N+1 redundancy across power (UPS), cooling, and standby systems. The facility also includes roof access for infrastructure expansion and maintenance.
STACK places a strong emphasis on physical security and fire protection. CHIA01A features a fenced perimeter, 24/7 onsite security staff, CCTV surveillance, biometric and card access controls. Fire safety is ensured through an automatic suppression system with a dual-interlock pre-action sprinkler system.
To support clients and their teams, the data center includes a variety of amenities such as a Meet-Me-Room (MMR), conference room, breakroom, office space, and a loading bay for equipment handling and logistics.
CHIA01A offers a full range of colocation services, including full cabinets, partial cabinets, shared rackspace, cages, and suites. Remote hands services are also available to support operational needs without requiring physical presence.
The facility meets a comprehensive set of industry standards, including PCI DSS compliance, ISO 27001 certification, HIPAA compliance, SSAE 18 auditing, and LEED Silver certification, ensuring robust data protection, operational excellence, and environmental responsibility.
While currently hosting one network provider, CHIA01A remains an integral part of STACK’s broader connectivity strategy, providing essential interconnection options for enterprise and service provider clients.
