DAILYHOSTNEWS, October 24, 2011 – Last week Thursday saw Data Foundry, a leading provider of data center outsourcing, secure colocation and disaster recovery solutions, mark its 17th anniversary. This came along with the grand opening of Texas 1 data center.
Founded in 1994, Data Foundry started out as the first Internet Service Provider in San Antonio and one of the first 50 Internet Service Providers in the United States. Seventeen years later, the company boasts one of the most redundant, connected, and secure data center and disaster recovery solution in Texas. The purpose-built, 250,000 square foot carrier-neutral data center is the first colocation facility on the 40-acre master-planned Data Ranch data center development in Austin.
Unlike many modern data centers, Texas 1’s power is fed by two independent substations, showcasing an underground power feed enclosed end-to-end in a concrete duct bank. In addition, the chilled water cooling efficiently handles high density computing needs up to 50 kW per cabinet. With support for over 17 network carriers, customers can select their preferred provider at more competitive rates.
“Texas 1 is among the best data centers in the world and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate 17 years of service in the industry at this new state-of-the-art facility,” said Edward Henigin, Data Foundry CTO. “Our many years of owner-operator experience give us a winning combination of quality service and unmatched technical expertise that we provide to all of our customers.”
