Data Center Capital of the World

Ashburn is a census-designated place (CDP) in Loudoun County, Virginia. It is 30 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. and part of the Washington metropolitan area.

Verizon Business has a major office in Ashburn at the location replacing MCI WorldCom’s headquarters after its acquisition. Ashburn is also home to government contractor Telos.
