DataCenterKnowledge.com reported that VMware is about to become the latest tech titan to locate a major datacenter facility in central Washington.  The report has VMware leasing more than 100,000 sq. feet of space in a new facility being built by Sabey Corp. in East Wenatchee, Washington.

The huge lease is another big win for Sabey, which has already leased the entire first building at Intergate.Columbia to T-Mobile. The VMware deal means that Sabey has pre-leased the vast majority of space at Intergate.Columbia. The VMware lease, which was reported today by the Wenatchee World, will take up about two-thirds of the 189,000 square foot second building.

VMware joins a growing list of companies that are building or leasing data center space in central Washington, where cheap hydro power from the dams along the Columbia River has proven to be a magnet for massive data center projects. Microsoft, Yahoo, Intuit, Ask.com and Base Partners already have data center projects in the area.
