About
Data Foundry Texas 1 operates a 130,000-square-foot, purpose-built data center in Austin, TX, delivering 24 MW of critical power capacity with per-cabinet densities exceeding 50 kW — a benchmark relevant to any facility manager evaluating mission-critical electrical infrastructure. The facility draws from two independent 400 MW substations via diverse underground feeds, eliminating single-point-of-failure risk at the utility level. Redundancy continues through the UPS layer, where multiple 750 kVA Powerware 9395 modules are fed via dual, diverse-routed incoming feeds in each UPS room, and through the generator plant, which deploys multiple 2.5 MW Caterpillar diesel units — each housed in individual ventilated, air-conditioned bays — supported by 50,000 gallons of on-site fuel storage for extended runtime. Cooling infrastructure matches this electrical rigor: concurrently maintainable chilled water systems with N+3 CRAH configurations and 550-ton VFD York chillers in N+1 redundancy serve high-density compute loads including blade server environments. For Austin-area property managers, facility managers, and general contractors specifying power distribution, switchgear, panelboards, backup generators, or UPS systems for office, industrial, healthcare, or institutional buildings, Texas 1 represents a reference-grade example of commercial electrical system design at scale. The campus spans 40 acres with room for growth, and its carrier-neutral network fabric — connecting to Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and 15-plus fiber carriers via underground, concrete-encased conduit — illustrates best practices in diverse pathway and infrastructure separation applicable across commercial building types. Staffed 24x7x365 with on-site Data Foundry personnel, the facility maintains eight layers of physical security. Its Austin location, 12 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, positions it as a strategic hub for multi-site operators across Central Texas.
