CyrusOne Plans Austin III Data Center In Texas

04/02/2015
Global colocation provider CyrusOne continues its expansion with the purchase of an additional powered shell in the Met Center in Austin, Texas.

CyrusOne’s new Austin III Data Center is projected to be the company’s largest facility, with 172,000 total square feet of shell and 120,000 colocation square feet. It will feature up to 12 megawatts of power, and over 25,000 square feet of class A office space at full build.

“Based on current and projected customer demand, it was essential to expand in this market. We’ve been extremely successful and have seen a tremendous amount of growth in Austin,” said John Hatem, Senior Vice President, Data Center Design and Construction, CyrusOne. “Once this facility is complete, enterprise-level companies will be able to utilize our Massively Modular design capabilities to scale rapidly and efficiently while taking advantage of CyrusOne’s exceptional uptime delivered by redundant power, cooling, and connectivity infrastructure.”

CyrusOne plans to use its Massively Modular design engineering approach to optimize materials sourcing and enable delivery of industry-leading energy optimization and just-in-time data hall inventory to meet customer demand. The first phase of construction includes up to 60,000 square feet of CSF and 6 megawatts of critical load.

The Austin III data center, located minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, is also going to be part of CyrusOne’s National Internet Exchange to enable interconnection to other CyrusOne data centers in Texas as well as other areas.
