Located in the Legacy Park section of Plano, TX, DFW3 offers 24×7 network availability, carrier neutrality and unparalleled performance. In all, DFW3 is designed to accommodate a total of six data Halls delivering 72,000 sq. ft of usable space and up to 40MW of total power from diverse utility feeds.
