The ground breaking ceremony was held at 660 Greens Parkway, the site of Data Foundry’s newly planned Houston 2 data center, a 350,000 square foot purpose-built data center being constructed in North Houston’s Greens Crossing district. Designed as a state-of-the-art data center from the ground up, Houston 2 will support both the demand and growth of Data Foundry’s existing Houston client base as well as provide a choice for premium data center services to companies within the greater Houston metro area.
Houston 2 will be Data Foundry’s second and largest Houston data center and will reside on an 18 acre tract the company purchased in 2013. With capabilities for 60 megawatts of power, the facility will have a chilled water-cooling system, a 185mph wind rated structure and will offer carrier neutral network access to more than 10 On-Net fiber carriers. Data Foundry will continue to operate its Houston 1 data center, which is located in the Galleria/West Loop area.
