More Data Centers Coming to Maryland

Beltsville-based AiNet is preparing to open a data center in Glen Burnie, setting it up for cross-state competition with traditional data center hotspot Ashburn.

Deepak Jain, the company’s president and founder, said the company plans to open by July the first phase of a 300,000-square-foot data center on 15 acres. The center will be housed in an existing building that used to be home to a Boscov’s department store.

The data center will be AiNet’s third — the first two are in Beltsville and Laurel — and Jain said it will fill a geographic gap in the company’s portfolio while also allowing it to accept companies whose needs previously outstripped AiNet’s capacity.

“We are building on a strategy where customers will be able to operate from each of our buildings interchangeably,” said Jain. The new center “lets us do some deals that we couldn’t do.”

  1. I worked a few years at a data center. Pay was pretty good $15-20 for starters/ students without a degree. Six figure salary with degree and a few years experience.

  2. I build data centers, and this would be a great tax and job boom for the Eastern Shore.... just need constant power and fiber. Huge money in this.
