New
Purpose-Built Data Center Now Available for Lease for
Business-Critical Enterprise Customers, Offering Tornado-proof
Building and Redundant Power.
Dallas,
Texas, USA (September 18, 2012) -- T5
Data Centers, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable, and highly reliable computing support
for any enterprise, today announced the completion and commissioning
of its new T5@Dallas data center at the Legacy Business Park in
Plano, Texas. The T5 team has successfully commissioned the first
3-megawatts (3 MWs) of what will ultimately be 20.5 MWs of critical
power, so the new data center is ready for mission-critical
operations for lease to enterprise customers.
The
new T5@Dallas data center is a purpose-built, 150,000-square-foot
building on a 20-acre site. Designed as a high-quality, fully
equipped "wholesale" data center, the facility is
customizable to customer needs with 129,000 square feet of raised
floor. The building is built from structurally enhanced concrete and
has been designed to withstand winds up to 175 miles per hour, so it
will remain operational even in the face of tornadoes or natural
disaster. It also has redundant power feeds from diverse substations
to ensure power is available no matter what the conditions. The
T5@Dallas data center is being developed in partnership with Lincoln
Property Company, and is part of the Legacy master-planned business,
retail, and residential community in Plano.
"Dallas
is a booming market for server-ready data center services,
particularly since enterprise customers are looking for facilities in
technology-based business centers," said Pete Marin, President
of T5. "Locating our T5@Dallas operation in Legacy in Plano also
gives us a unique business location. And clients also benefit from
our purpose-built facility - this is not a converted warehouse, but a
custom designed data center constructed with infrastructure and
security in mind."
The
new T5@Dallas data center was designed for large enterprise customers
seeking a customizable, "always-on" computing environment.
T5 maintains round-the-clock engineering and support staff, as well
as redundant systems to deliver the best service possible as well as
peace of mind. The company already supports a number of Fortune 200
companies at its other data center facilities.
"We
just put the first 3 MWs of critical power through its paces and the
electrical, mechanical, and control system design and installation
proved to be robust and resilient," said Joe Parrino, Senior
Vice President of T5, responsible for data center portfolio
operations. "Our commissioning agent created a complex script of
simulations at multiple load levels, and the critical infrastructure
systems performed to specification throughout the testing. We are
ready to handle any kind of mission-critical data requirements."
