Ain't Gonna Work on Maggie's Server Farm No More: The DFW's a Data Center!
 |
According to Grubb & Ellis Inc., since 'round '07 data centers have sucked up 1.5 million square feet of space -- some of that going to companies like San Francisco-based Digital Realty Trust, which is building out an enormous DataCenter Park at Alma Road and Collins Boulevard; some of it, to such companies as Texas Instruments and Cisco. The reasons: "Conditions in Texas make for a very favorable data center environment: corporate taxes are low; power is robust and relatively cheap; and telecommunications infrastructure is new and powerful. In addition to these benefits, North Texas also boasts inexpensive real estate, a low cost of living, and a deep and skilled labor pool."
