NetActuate expands to DFW-1 datacenter in Dallas, Texas.
DALLAS, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NetActuate is happy to announce its expansion to the DFW1 data center, a flagship facility known for its industry-leading power redundancy and reliability. This state-of-the-art facility, operated by DataBank, is located in Dallas, Texas, and provides an unparalleled level of power infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service for NetActuate's customers.
- Unmatched Critical IT load & Utility Power -
The DFW1 facility features a robust 2N power design, a 7MW critical IT load capacity, and flexible power options, including 120V, 208V, 3P AC, and available DC power, ensuring unmatched reliability. Separate A and B power feeds from the substation to customer equipment guarantee continuous uptime even during power disruptions.
Additionally, the facility boasts 28.2 MW of utility power delivered through 12 independent 2.4 MW feeds from six diverse utility vaults. Power is sourced from the 'Oncor 700' network grid, fed by five different power generation facilities supporting critical Dallas city operations such as 911 services. This high-priority grid is exempt from rolling blackouts, ensuring constant power availability.
- Robust Backup Power Generation -
To complement its utility power, DFW1 is equipped with a comprehensive generator lineup featuring Cummins/Onan and Caterpillar units, each with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 MW. These generators are arranged in redundant pairs, with fuel tanks holding between 1,900 and 5,000 gallons, ensuring extended operational capacity in case of a utility power failure.
- Advanced Cooling and UPS Systems -
Cooling is provided by 10 rooftop dry coolers, supporting up to 15 CRAC units per floor. Additionally, the facility's 18+ UPS units, sourced from trusted manufacturers Active Power and Mitsubishi, offer complete redundancy from the inbound power feeds to the customer cabinets. This ensures that critical systems remain operational at all times.
- A Strategic Expansion -
DFW1 is one of the most advanced data centers in the region, and NetActuate's expansion into this facility further strengthens its ability to deliver reliable, high-performance infrastructure solutions. "DFW1 is not only a flagship facility for DataBank but also a critical addition to NetActuate's global infrastructure network," said Mark Mahle, CEO and Co-founder at NetActuate.
