Ground breaking of the first data center on the Houston campus is planned for the first quarter of 2014 with completion targeted in the fourth quarter. The new Houston data center will offer both retail and wholesale colocation to support customers from a single cabinet up to multi-megawatt deployments. It will also maintain a carrier-neutral approach like Data Foundry's other data centers, allowing maximum flexibility for customers' network requirements.
