Colocation

Colocation provides peace of mind through uptime guarantees and frees up time and resources for companies to invest in their core business. Data Foundry offers colocation solutions that accommodate companies with any size footprint, from 1/2 cabinets to private data suites. We own and operate premier, carrier-neutral colocation facilities in Austin and Houston, Texas with 24x7x365 support services provided by in-house staff. We also offer global colocation from any of our Global Data Centers located in Ashburn Virginia, Amsterdam or Hong Kong.

Tenured Staff Onsite

Unlike the majority of colocation providers (REITs), we maintain in-house certified technicians, engineers and electricians. We are operator-owned, and our executives are veterans of the IT and Internet industries. We also have a tenured security staff, and do not outsource to contractors. Data Foundry’s staff provides onsite security and support 24x7x365:

Facility technicians
Master electricians
Journeyman electricians
Network engineers
NOC technicians
Security managers and administrators
Infrastructure specialists
