The Dallas Data Center Market absorbed 39 MW of demand in 2015, and data center operators are working hard to deliver commissioned power and space to meet this year’s activity. If you’re looking for your next data center in Dallas, pay attention to the Top 4 Largest Data Centers coming to the market:

• 1. Skybox Data Centers – Skybox recently broke ground on their new data center campus in Plano, with the first, 150,000 SF, 25 MW phase to be delivered in October of 2016. The campus is planned to have 350,000 SF and 60 MW of wholesale capacity in one or more facilities at full build-out. According to Rob Morris, managing partner at Skybox Datacenters, Texas offers untapped potential. “Skybox is excited about what might be possible here for large users, integrators and cloud providers that want to operate in one of the most populous states in the country while maintaining an extremely low and nationally competitive total cost of operations.”
