* Six utility feeds from the Dallas Central Business District power grid, featuring reliable N+3 transformers with ATS switches, plus secure, concrete encased building feeds.

* All UPS and Generator deployments provide N+1 redundancy provided by

* four 800 KVA MGE UPS systems

* two 1200 KVA CAT UPS Systems

* four 2.0 megawatt generators

* three 1.5 megawatt generators

Security for the new facility is maintained through:

* on site security, 24/7/365

* card access required to enter parking and building lobby

* biometric hand scanner required for data center entry

* annual SAS 70 Audits

A consistent data center environment is maintained by an HVAC Cooling System designed with N+1 redundancy and featuring

* 80,000 gallon reserve make-up water tank
