The rhetoric sounds good. A big collaborative tech project, to the tune of $500 billion, with its first significant deployment in Abilene. AI-focused data centers using renewable energy. And it even has a fancy scifi name!
But here at Dome, we're a little skeptical. The data center is trumpeted as a brand new thing, but it's been in the works for years. Nobody's saying how much of that $500 billion goes into projects in Abilene. Construction's being done by contractors brought in from DFW. The number of jobs to be created by the data center is estimated at 57. Isn't the name "Stargate" trademarked? And don't get us started about Oracle.
Sure, we're excited about the possibilities, but we'll believe the benefits to local businesses when we see them.
Today, though, we're ready to help West Texas businesses take advantage of the new tech infrastructure. We're the only custom software services provider in the region, and are excited to help you use AI to increase efficiency and grow your business.
Let's Chat About It!The Stargate Project is a $500 billion initiative led by OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, Microsoft, Arm, and NVIDIA to build advanced data centers and infrastructure in the US, supporting the rapidly growing demand for AI across the nation and world.
Nobody really knows. There's the potential that Stargate investment creates new jobs, attracts tech companies, and boosts local businesses, and maybe even turns Abilene into another tech hub like Boulder. Or it could be a big nothingburger.
Most of them can't benefit directly. A data center is a data center, and it's not like you can walk in and use it. But the infrastructure and the tech that's being built can be used by local businesses to improve their operations and products. That's why we're here.
The project is already in development, with data center construction and infrastructure planning underway. Full implementation is expected over the next several years, with major milestones scheduled through 2029.
The initial data center's construction is underway in northwest Abilene on Spinks Rd.
The future of West Texas is here. At Dome Software, we're bringing groundbreaking AI and technology solutions to Abilene and helping you to stay ahead of the curve. Ready to transform your operations and harness the power of innovation? Let's make it happen!
