Logix Fiber Networks upgrades power in Dallas, Fort Worth data centers
LOGIX Fiber Networks has upgraded the power capabilities of its Dallas-area data centers. The company says the upgrades were necessary to meet anticipated growth in customer demands.
In Dallas, LOGIX says it has replaced the A-side UPS with the 100-kVA UPS equipment at its 2323 Bryan Street location. An additional UPS for the site is in the works for within “the coming months,” according to the company. At the LOGIX 1950 N. Stemmons Freeway facility, the company upgraded its DC battery plant to support its core voice and data network infrastructure.
And in Fort Worth, the data center at 307 W. 7th Street is seeing the addition of a new B-side power 100-kVA UPS in addition to upgrades to its customer lobby and office areas.
“Leadership in technology, financial services, manufacturing, education, and connectivity continues to make the Dallas and Fort Worth [DFW] areas especially attractive markets for our SMB and enterprise customers,” said Craig Collins, LOGIX CEO. “The DFW’s diverse economy moves fast, and LOGIX operates in the same manner. Our downtown Fort Worth and Dallas data centers are ideal locations for companies fueling this area’s growth to leverage LOGIX’s state-of-the-art and well-connected data centers in this dynamic region.”
“Our operations teams tightly manage our data center footprints to ensure we stay several steps ahead of customer demand,” added Glenn Taylor, senior vice president of network operations. “These facilities offer exceptional colocation opportunities for customers of all sizes with redundant and highly reliable systems, as well as robust fiber connectivity options using the LOGIX network and numerous other third-party carriers.
In addition to its own locations (see "LOGIX Fiber Networks to continue Houston, Dallas, and Austin data center expansions"), the LOGIX fiber network connects to nearly 100 third-party data centers, according to the company.
