New Deals Set Up DFW to Lead Data Center Market

DALLAS-With the recent groundbreaking of Stream Data Centers’ $35-million project in Richardson, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has cemented its position as one of the fastest growing data center markets in the nation.

Stream Data Center’s project – a 20,000-square-foot data center located in the Richardson Telecom Corridor designed to Tier III+ standards and structurally enhanced to withstand 125 mph winds – is just one of several data center projects that have been completed recently or are under construction across the Metroplex.

In fact, Dallas/Fort Worth ranks as one of the top data center markets in the nation, according to Anthony Bolner, senior vice president of Stream Data Centers. “We are finding that most corporate users are running out of space, power and cooling for their in-house data centers,” he tells GlobeSt., adding that Dallas/Fort Worth tops the list for many corporate users, whether they’re establishing new operations or expanding.
