ValorC3 Data Centers, formerly known as Tanoquint, entered the Boise metro in 2020 when it acquired Fiberpipe Data Centers, a 2 megawatt, 45,600-square-foot data center at 10215 W. Emerald St. The company is a division of CVC DIF, the infrastructure business of the Netherlands-based CVC Capital Partners.
