RadiusDC has agreed to acquire phoenixNAP’s Phoenix data center and colocation operations, with plans to expand the campus to 26 megawatts of IT capacity by 2028.

RadiusDC has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Phoenix data center and colocation business of phoenixNAP, located in Phoenix, Arizona, announced in a press release. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

The acquisition includes phoenixNAP’s existing colocation facility, interconnection infrastructure, and development rights for future campus expansion.

Initial phases of DC2 are projected to come online in the first half of 2028, bringing the total potential campus capacity to approximately 26 megawatts.

Around 80% of phoenixNAP’s global business, including its Bare Metal Cloud and network services, will remain independently owned and operated. phoenixNAP will continue as a tenant at the Phoenix site, ensuring continuity of service for existing customers.

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
