Nebius opens its first availability zone in the United States

We will become the first colocation tenant in the Kansas City data center owned by our partner Patmos, which provides cloud, high-density compute, software and data center solutions.

We selected Patmos for its demonstrated agility and expertise in phased construction, delivering custom data center buildouts faster than the industry standard. The first phase of construction includes extensive infrastructure upgrades: backups, generators and cage space, tailored to support our demanding workload requirements.

Patmos recently repurposed the facility, converting the iconic Kansas City Star printing press to a modern AI data center. The colocation can be expanded from an initial 5 MW up to 40 MW, or about 35 thousand GPUs, at full potential capacity.

The new availability zone will allow us to meet the demands of US-based AI companies even better. To work more efficiently with them and for the convenience of our growing team, we also recently announced the opening of three offices across the country.

This comes just as the first client workloads are being deployed in our Paris colocation data center, the one we unveiled less than two months ago. Along with our own DC in Finland, whose capacity we’re tripling, Nebius will have three availability zones, and this is just the beginning. We will continue building AI infrastructure on both sides of the Atlantic in 2025 and beyond.
