Our data center is located in the Dallas central business district. Dallas’ relatively mild climate, central geographic location, lack of seismic activity, and inland distance from any coast make it a prime choice over other strategic locations often affected by natural disasters.
While Dallas is home to many Fortune 500 corporations and leading technology companies, it is also a robust regional center for domestic and international businesses. Serviced by the world’s fourth busiest airport, DFW International, Dallas is a logical choice for easy access from anywhere. Located within blocks of three major Southwestern Bell central switching offices (Ross, Taylor and Riverside), our data center is located in the heart of a massive fiber optic intersection.
