“ICFN has a long track record of success here, and we’re proud to bring their redundant fibre infrastructure into our facilities.”
Stack’s two data centres, DFW01 and DFW02, total 32MW and offer close to 400,000 square feet of space in Plano, with adjacent expansion capacity of another 50MW on 16 acres of land. Its already home to 13 carriers they will also now offer direct connection to ICFN’s private fibre network with access to the Dallas infrastructure ecosystem.
The company credited Dallas Fort-Worth for its status as an international interconnection hub and a central marketplace connecting the south and central US with Latin America.
“Technology advancements and content demand continue to drive the need for mission-critical data transport,” added Chris Degelia, general manager at ICFN.
“We are committed to designing and building carrier-class fibre networks into every major peering point in DFW and Stack Infrastructure’s DFW01 and DFW02 are both an important part of our network.”
