"Our colocation and carrier-neutral offerings are designed to meet the demanding requirements of this sector and offer flexible, customized configurations to support applications and services on demand."
"Since our software and application portfolios are deployed to our clients via the Internet, it is imperative that our core network and systems reside in a fully redundant facility to ensure 100% uptime and maximum availability," states Jason C.

Data Foundry's highly-secure Austin data center has over 40,000 square feet and is supplied by two power feeds from a 400-megawatt substation, providing ample space and power to allow for growth.
Data Foundry's newest facility, Texas 1, is designed to support high-density colocation deployments. Planned for completion in Q2 2011, this master-planned 250,000 square foot data center is engineered to be fully redundant across all critical infrastructures. With options ranging from dedicated cabinets, cage space and build-to-spec data suites, Texas 1 will address any size data center configuration.
