Multiple levels of redundancy are built into every level of Texas 1 power infrastructure. The redundant power feeds are supplied by separate 400 MW substations, and each substation is powered by independent power plants on the ERCOT electric grid. For added reliability, Data Foundry built a dedicated, end-to-end, concrete reinforced underground feed. The immediate power failure is protected by multiple 750 kVA PowerWare 9395 UPS system in N+1 and 2N configurations. The emergency power is provided by multiple 2.5 MW Caterpillar diesel generators in N+1 configuration with 50,000 gallons of fuel storage onsite. The data center has 300 kVA single input PDUs and 300 kVA dual input PDUs. The data center is ideal for high performance computing with power density of 50 kW per cabinet. The data center has zone high resistance grounding and lightning protection system installed. The cooling and humidity in the data center is controlled by 24,000 cfm chilled water CRAH units in N+3 configuration, and 550 tons VFD York chillers with fast restart in N+1 redundancy.
Houston data center is a carrier neutral facility offering connectivity to 17+ carriers and service providers. Carriers are provided access to underground, concrete-encased duct banks that enter the Data Ranch campus via diverse paths on the property.
