ATLANTA — About a mile west of Georgia Tech’s campus, a pair of buildings that combined are nearly the size of Buckhead’s Lenox Square mall bear the letters “QTS.”
While many Georgians might not know Kansas-based Quality Technology Services, the company is among the leaders in an industry nearly everyone uses every day — all you have to do is open a mobile app or an internet browser.
QTS builds, operates and leases space inside data centers, gigantic warehouses filled with rows and rows of computer equipment that power our digital lives, storing everything from bank records to government documents to video streaming files. Data centers have become one of the fastest-growing uses for industrial land in the United States as companies digitize and internet usage grows.
