Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE) announced
plans to build a third data center at its Houston
West campus. The new building will be located on the 45-acre parcel
of land that is located along Beltway 8 in Houston’s Energy Corridor.
“CyrusOne’s Houston West campus is well known as the largest data center
campus for seismic exploration computing in the oil and gas industry,”
explained Kevin Timmons, chief technology officer at CyrusOne. “By
continuing to apply our Massively Modular design/build approach and
high-density compute expertise, the new facility will allow us to serve
the growing number of oil and gas customers who are demanding
best-in-class mission-critical infrastructure. The 200,000 square feet
of Class A office building will enable us to expand the ecosystem for
facilitating research and development of geophysical exploration data by
providing office space for employees of the world’s leading oil and gas
companies as well as academicians from the leading universities that are
all involved in conducting petrochemical analytical research.”
CyrusOne anticipates breaking ground on the seismic campus expansion
early next year. Upon completion of the new facility, the campus will
easily be the largest and most innovative center of excellence for
seismic compute services infrastructure in the world with a total power
capacity approaching 100 megawatts and more than 1 million square feet
of data center and Class A office space.
Delivering a Data Center Platform Providing Best-in-Class Facilities
and Robust Connectivity
CyrusOne specializes in highly reliable enterprise data center
colocation solutions and engineers its facilities with the highest power
redundancy (2N architecture) and the power-density infrastructure
required to deliver excellent availability.
Customers also have access to the CyrusOne
National Internet Exchange (National IX), which marries low-cost
robust connectivity with the massively scaled data centers that CyrusOne
is known for by virtually linking a dozen CyrusOne facilities in five
metropolitan markets (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Phoenix.)
As a result, CyrusOne customers have an opportunity to go beyond the
benefits of a single data center and efficiently architect a data center
platform for their production or disaster recovery solution using
multiple data centers connected by powerful, low-cost carrier grade
connectivity. This is enabling Fortune 500 companies to architect data
center platforms that meet the disaster recovery requirements of Sabanes
Oxley, HIPAA, PCI, Nasdaq, NYSE and many other regulatory frameworks
because they can ensure their data is protected and accessible 100
percent of the time across multiple sites located throughout the
country. This represents a true paradigm shift in the way companies are
managing the creation, access and sharing of their data.
Moreover, the CyrusOne National IX provides customers with the
opportunity to drive additional revenue by improving their immediately
addressable market, to reduce expenses with a lower-cost option for
point-to-point connectivity between data centers, and to improve service
quality through higher levels of resiliency.
CyrusOne operates 25 carrier-neutral data
center facilities across the United States, Europe, and Asia that
give customers the flexibility and scale to perfectly match their
specific growth needs. The company is renowned for exceptional service
and for building enduring customer relationships and high customer
