The Digital Realty PDX12 Data Center is a major hyperscale colocation facility located at 5870 NE Schaaf Street in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA, and forms an important component of Digital Realty’s broader Pacific Northwest data center footprint. Positioned within Hillsboro’s renowned “Silicon Forest” technology corridor, PDX12 benefits from an established ecosystem of data centers, telecommunications networks, cloud platforms, technology companies, and digital infrastructure providers. The facility is designed to support the growing requirements of enterprises, hyperscale cloud operators, content providers, and other organizations that depend on scalable, secure, and highly connected computing infrastructure. Hillsboro has developed into a significant data center destination because of its strong fiber connectivity, access to reliable electricity, extensive network infrastructure, favorable business environment, and proximity to Portland and major technology markets across the Western United States. PDX12 contributes to this ecosystem by providing customers with access to Digital Realty’s interconnected data center environment and a broad range of connectivity opportunities. Its location within the Hillsboro cluster also enables businesses to benefit from proximity to other critical digital infrastructure facilities, helping reduce network latency and improve access to regional cloud and enterprise services. The Pacific Northwest’s substantial renewable energy resources further enhance the attractiveness of the region for data center development, particularly as operators and customers increasingly focus on energy efficiency and lower-carbon infrastructure. As demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital services, and data-intensive applications continues to expand, PDX12 is positioned to support the increasing need for resilient and scalable computing capacity. Its strategic location, connectivity advantages, and integration into Digital Realty’s regional platform reinforce Hillsboro’s role as a major data center hub in the United States.
