CyrusOne, Inc., a company providing IT Infrastructure and Services for growing businesses in Houston and surrounding areas, has reportedly opened the third 2N level high density data center in the Dallas area.

 

The company offers colocation and implementation services for companies in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, healthcare, energy and financial services. 

 

This latest announcement reflects the strong demand for data center space in the Dallas area, according to company officials.

 

The new data centers are built to a 2N level redundancy to offer Data Center Services, Corporate Colocation, Colocation as a Data Center Provider, Server Colocation, Server Hosting and Data Disaster Recovery.

In total, CyrusOne maintains seven facilities occupying 480,000 square feet in Texas, including three facilities in Houston, three in Dallas and one in Austin.

Its facilities are designed for “zero downtime,” and accommodate the latest server technologies in a fully redundant, 2N power and cooling configuration.

Officials with CyrusOne also noted that company is currently supporting server installations that utilize up to 1,000 watts of power per square foot, versus traditional 120 watts per square foot offered by competitors.

Back in August, CyrusOne announced that Rent-A-Center, a rent-to-own operator in the United States, selected the company as its exclusive data center provider. As part of the pact, CyrusOne offers high availability colocation services to Rent-A-Center from one of its three Dallas-area facilities.
