Data Foundry’s Texas 1 and ADC data centers have successfully completed the SSAE 16 Type II compliance audit. What does that mean? You can have complete confidence that your critical data and infrastructure is in a facility which has verified internal business processes and IT controls in place.

Over a period of 6 months, independent auditors assessed Data Foundry’s policies, controls, and business processes leading to SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type II compliance. Data Foundry will continue to complete an SSAE 16 audit every six months to ensure that no reporting period is unaudited.

Data Foundry’s recent Texas 1 Grand Opening was a celebration to remember. With our clients, partners, and valued employees we shared a relaxing night full of easy conversation, live music and great Texas BBQ.

Texas 1, the first purpose-built, carrier-neutral data center in the Central Texas region is now open for business!

The initial phase of the highly anticipated 130,000 SF data center is fully operational and the first customers are already moved in. As chronicled on our Construction Blog throughout the past year, Texas 1 is the first colocation facility on the 40-acre master-planned Data Ranch data center development in Austin, Texas.

Watch the time lapse video of its construction here!

With Texas 1 opening in just a few weeks, we are excited to report that the power systems and controls supporting the facility have been fully installed!

Texas 1 has fully redundant power from two separate substations. Our dual-feed power is carried all the way to the UPSs, meaning that each individual UPS lineup within the building can run on power from either substation.

This premium configuration has no single point of failure. We can distribute our active UPS connections independently across our dual utility feeds, spreading out the load and reducing the possibility of the entire facility being affected by a problem with one utility feed. If there is a utility issue on one feed, we can easily transfer the affected load over to the other feed.

We’ve made a lot of progress on preparing the site for the start of construction of Texas 1. Check out some pictures below of the crews hard at work.

The Data Foundry team is proud to feature our new blog series showcasing the construction of Data Foundry’s new $150M, 250,000 SF Master Planned Texas 1 Facility.

Residing on our 40 Acre Data Ranch, capable of over 1 million square feet of data center space, the Texas 1 is designed with redundancy at every level – power, water, utilities, IP connectivity and more.

Referred to as a “data dream home” by local news station KVUE, Texas 1 will house servers, store data and provide IT backup and disaster recovery for companies on both a local and global level.
