The largest concentration is West Des Moines, with 17 data centers, followed by Altoona with 9 and Council Bluffs with 8. The operators with the most data centers in Iowa are Microsoft (10), South Front Networks (8), Meta (7), Google (6), Aureon Network Services (3). Colocation and interconnection providers appear most often because they publish building-level detail; hyperscale campuses appear where the operator or the county names the individual buildings. Not every operator discloses size. In Iowa, 10 publish a floor area and 7 publish a power figure, and each figure is shown against the data center it belongs to rather than added into one number. They are not the same measurement: one operator states the floor area of a single building, another the full capacity of a campus it has only announced. MISO runs the wholesale power market and the high-voltage grid for most of Iowa. 1 statewide measure governing data centers is on record, alongside 8 local pauses. 3 named projects in Iowa are delayed, blocked or under challenge, and the capital atlas records 1 site here carrying $7B in announced commitments. The list ## Iowa data centers by city Every data center identified in Iowa, grouped by the city or county it stands in, 85 of them across 33 places. Each entry names the operator and links to the source that states it. ### Data centers in West Des Moines, Iowa West Des Moines, Iowa has 17 data centers on this map, run by Microsoft and Aureon Network Services. 1.
