Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Operational
Civil Beat reported the state's primary data center still operating in the flood-prone basement of the Kalanimōkū Building, with sensitive criminal-justice and tax data still housed there, and no clear relocation plan.
Underlying source
Source notes
The state's primary enterprise data center is in the basement of the Kalanimōkū state office building. SB284 SD1 says it was created more than forty years ago, has had minimal upgrades, and is 'no longer used to run any critical state programs' in its current condition. The bill would have required it to be decommissioned by June 30, 2024, but enactment was not verified. In 2023 Civil Beat reported that about 70% of ETS data had moved to out-of-state servers, that sensitive data remained in the basement, and that Gov. Green had rejected relocation to the proposed Mililani First Responders Technology Campus. Whether the facility is still in use as of 2026 is not confirmed.
