H5's Cincinnati data center, conveniently located adjacent to the downtown Central Business District (CBD), serves the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area with excellent access to interstate highways I-75 and I-71. The surrounding metro area is a major economic hub, home to over 2 million people and several of the largest US companies, including Kroger, Procter & Gamble, Macy's, Fifth Third Bank, and Western & Southern Life Insurance. Nearly 50% of the US population is within a 10-hour drive, making it a strategically central location. H5 offers flexible deployments, including resilient private data center suites or powered shell space adjacent to leading carriers.

The Cincinnati data center is an 80,000 square foot facility engineered with robust structural design. It features 20-foot ceiling heights and a floor loading capacity exceeding 200 lbs./SF. The building also includes supporting ancillary space such as office, flex industrial areas, staging, storage, and ample on-site parking to support logistics and operational needs.

The facility draws power from Duke Energy’s utility grid, known for high reliability and competitive pricing, with average power costs below $0.06 per kWh annually. Infrastructure options support flexible mechanical and electrical configurations including N or 2N UPS and generator redundancy, engineered for concurrently maintainable buildouts to meet enterprise uptime requirements. The site is supported by 2N UPS redundancy, N+2 cooling resilience, and 2N standby power redundancy with diverse utility feeds.

The H5 Cincinnati data center is overseen 24/7 by a national centralized security operations center. Physical security measures include dual-factor access control using card authentication and biometric scanning, reinforced by on-site security personnel and full-cover CCTV monitoring. Compliance certifications include ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, ensuring alignment with strict enterprise regulatory and audit frameworks.
