Ascent Enters Dallas Market With EF5 Tornado Hardened Data Center
Highly secure facility to protect mission critical infrastructure in Tier-1 data center market.
Ascent has announced the launch of its latest data center facility in the Dallas market. Available immediately, the standalone space, known as Ascent DAL1, is designed to provide the highly flexible and scalable data center infrastructure necessary for enterprises in the growing Dallas-Fort Worth region while offering hardened building construction, capable of withstanding EF5 tornadoes.
With active developments in other markets, including downtown and suburban Chicago, Ascent is now bringing its expertise to Dallas — an area under threat by severe weather and in need of highly secure, impenetrable facilities to run data center operations and provide business continuity. Ascent’s DAL1 facility is highly secure and can withstand environmental threats including EF5 tornadoes with up to 360 mph winds — it is outfitted with 15 in. reinforced concrete walls, 13.5 in. reinforced concrete roof, and 8,000-lb blast door at the dock area to name a few attributes.
