The Planet - Dallas, Texas
The Planet currently owns and operates three
state-of-the-art data centers in Dallas, Texas, offering complete
redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity,
and security. With over 83,000 sq ft of raised floor between the
three facilities, The Planet has an offering to fit any need. Our
product offerings include private caged suites, cabinets, half-cabinets,
tri-cabinets, and rackspace by the Unit. The datacenter facility
sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare
UPS battery backup power and dual diesel generators onsite. Our
HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to provide redundancy
in cooling coupled with ten managed backbone providers. Twelve more
third party backbone providers are available in the building via
cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system
including VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over
700 smoke detectors between the two facilities.
