Infotel Systems Data Center, Richmond, Virginia

Infotel Systems, a VoIP telephone provider in the Richmond area, runs its own data center at 6008 Hermitage Road in the Lakeside area of Henrico County, Virginia, next to a Verizon facility. The building hosts the company's phone, video and data services for its customers and connects directly to Verizon's and Comcast's Virginia internet hubs. Henrico County has around 40 data centers of various sizes, most of them much larger, clustered in the White Oak Technology Park in the Varina District.

The building has an hour of battery backup behind its main generator, alarm monitoring around the clock, and a reflective white roof installed in 2016. Infotel also keeps a second data center elsewhere and lists redundant generators with a 20 day supply of propane. Because data centers were once classified under the county's office or warehouse zoning, many small data centers were built in scattered locations across Henrico, and Varina Supervisor Tyrone Nelson said: "I am trying to keep... data centers from spreading all across the Varina District."

The Henrico County Board of Supervisors adopted a data center amendment to its comprehensive plan on June 10, 2025, setting recommendations for new data center development countywide. The change means new projects go through a public process before the Board of Supervisors rather than being built by right, and any new data center in the county is now reviewed against those recommendations.
