Flexential Minneapolis – Chaska Data Center
3500 Lyman Blvd, Chaska, MN, 55318, US
The Chaska data center at 3500 Lyman Boulevard is Flexential's Minneapolis building, 160,838 square feet against 9 MW of critical power for high-density workloads, southwest of the Twin Cities. Minnesota's sales tax exemption for qualifying data center equipment and electricity is a genuine cost advantage over neighbouring states, and Chaska sits far enough from downtown to have land and power without giving up metro access. It is the largest Flexential building in the Upper Midwest and the practical wholesale option in a market whose interconnection is concentrated downtown in the 511 carrier hotel. Availability is contracted at 100% on power, cooling, network and bandwidth, and the audit program covers HITRUST, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53 and ITAR.
