Why Choose Dallas / Ft. Worth for your Data Center?
Why the silicon prairie is the premier location for a data center.
 1. The D/FW Metroplex is centrally located in the United States, geographically 1500 miles from both New York and Los Angeles. Dallas has one of the two largest fiber hubs in the country, which means that data doesn't travel a long distance to be redirected to its destination and results in faster transfer times.
2. In the last hundred years, Dallas has not been hit by an earthquake, volcano, hurricane, terrorist attack or super villain. At 32.78N latitude, the only natural threats are tornados, floods and the occasional hard freeze.
3. The power grid of the Dallas Central Business District is on par with the best in the world. Dallas, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. are the only U.S. cities using a mesh network - numerous buildings attached to as many as six separate power substations - resulting in rare electrical outages.
4. Dallas boasts two major telecom hotels (high-rises designed to cater to telecom companies and server farms) and roughly 20 public data centers.
5. Dallas is second in the nation in telecommunication manufacturing employment.
6. With over 140,000 IT-related workers, Dallas employers can be picky about choosing the cream of the crop, resulting in better service and employees. The D/FW area also offers 15 four-year Universities and 16 community colleges with over 270,000 students as of 2004.
7. Dallas Fort Worth ranks number 4 on the list of cites with the most Fortune 500 companies including Exxon Mobil, Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and Texas Instruments.
From its world-class technology and infrastructure to its superior talent, D/FW is the best US location to host your data center.
