Servpac Breaks Ground on $13 Million Data Center Expansion in Hawaii
February 10, 2026
Servpac, a Hawaii-based cloud and data center provider, has commenced construction on a major expansion of its MTP Data Center on the island of O’ahu, a strategic move to bolster digital infrastructure in a geographically isolated and vulnerable region. The project underscores the growing demand for resilient, local computing capacity as businesses and public services increasingly rely on low-latency and secure data hosting. The company announced the groundbreaking for a new, $13 million facility situated on a 5-acre plot within the Mililani Technology Park.
This expansion is designed to be built on an additional 150,000 square feet of company-owned land adjacent to the existing site. According to Servpac, the new build will dramatically increase capacity, providing an estimated tenfold increase in cabinet and power availability compared to the current facility. The existing MTP Data Center, which completed its first phase in September 2021 and underwent a capacity doubling in 2023, currently spans 30,000 square feet with 1MW of power. The expansion is specifically engineered to enhance resilience against Hawaii's unique environmental threats. Servpac stated the new data center will be constructed to "withstand Category 5 hurricane-force winds." This focus on robustness addresses critical local concerns.
"Given Hawaii’s particular vulnerabilities because of threats from hurricanes to tsunami and rising sea levels, the need is great for a state-of-the-art, geographically secure data facility," said Servpac President Richard Zheng. The company also highlighted the sustainable design of the initial phase, which uses 500 solar panels to generate approximately 1MWh of power daily. This significant investment by Servpac is poised to substantially increase the IT infrastructure available to local enterprises, government agencies, and technology firms within the Mililani Tech Park hub. By expanding local colocation, cloud, and disaster recovery services, the development reduces dependency on distant mainland data centers, improving latency and data sovereignty for Hawaiian organizations. It also signals continued confidence in Hawaii as a viable location for critical digital infrastructure, provided it is built with extreme environmental hardening in mind.
