(Austin, TX) — Research by real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle indicates Texas could become the world’s top data center market as soon as 2030. Northern Virginia has been the nation’s data center capital for years, providing computing power to the US government in nearby DC, as well as to major companies such as Google. But developers are turning more and more to Texas because of the state’s business-friendly regulatory climate. Tennessee and Ohio are also top emerging data center markets.
