CyrusOne, a leader in high-availability and high-density corporate colocation services, has announced plans to open a new facility in the Dallas area in response to the growing demand for increased density, fully-redundant (2N) datacenter space. The new facility, located at The Convergence Technology Center, will provide up to 80,000 square feet with up to 13.5 megawatts of power. This will supply over 250 watts per square foot to support corporations leveraging the latest high-density server technology. Customer installations will begin in May of 2008 with a grand opening set for June 2008.
The opening of this facility expands CyrusOne's existing inventory in the Dallas market. In 2006 the company unveiled a datacenter at 2323 Bryan that has since reached full capacity, making this expansion a logical step for the company.
"The opening of this Dallas facility uniquely positions CyrusOne as the only Tier 4-SLA, corporate colocation provider with the highest redundancy, density, security, and availability in the area, said David Ferdman, president and CEO of CyrusOne. "We are seeing a dramatic shift within large corporations, whereby they are strategically choosing to no longer invest millions of dollars to build and operate their own datacenters. Our decision to expand our footprint in Dallas was driven by a growing national demand within our existing customer base and with new prospects, for higher density and higher availability colocation services.
Strategically located in Lewisville, between Dallas and Fort Worth, The Convergence Technology Center is the datacenter home for many Fortune 500 companies. The center features 185 acres and 12 individual buildings with over 1,100,000 square feet. Catering to high availability datacenter space, the campus pulls power from two independent power grids, fed by three separate substations, allowing for fully reliable and redundant power to the CyrusOne facility.
