Visa Ashburn

Visa’s Ashburn data center, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, is the company's primary facility for global payment processing. Strategically positioned in “Data Center Alley,” it anchors VisaNet’s transaction infrastructure and handles billions of dollars in secure data exchanges daily. This site serves as the backbone for North American and global traffic, underpinning Visa’s reputation for speed and reliability in digital payments.

The facility was built to accommodate rapid growth and disaster resilience, with hardened systems capable of withstanding power disruptions, intrusion attempts, and natural catastrophes. It features 24/7/365 monitoring, biometric access controls, and high-density compute zones tailored for real-time financial workloads and fraud detection.

In line with Visa's sustainability goals, the Ashburn data center is powered entirely by renewable energy through a long-term solar energy agreement. Its green operations reflect Visa’s broader push for climate-conscious infrastructure, marrying performance with environmental responsibility at one of the most critical nodes in the global payments network.
