The 2014 Challenger of Dallas Is USTA Pro Circuit Event
Dallas, TX (February 6, 2014) – Global data center services provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) announced today that it is one of the sponsors for the United States Tennis Association (USTA) 2014 Challenger of Dallas men’s tennis event. The tournament, taking place this week, is the first North American tennis tour stop of the year.
“This unique indoor event is the largest continuous men’s professional tennis tournament in Texas, and it attracts some of the finest tennis players in the world,” said Scott Brueggeman, chief marketing officer of CyrusOne. “Tennis has been one of the fastest growing major sports in the U.S. for the last decade, and we’re proud to be a part of this opportunity, located right in our own backyard.“
The Challenger of Dallas, now in its 16th year, runs from Feb. 1-8 at the T Bar M Club located in Dallas. It is rated one of the top circuit stops by the USTA, with the top male tennis professionals from over 25 countries in attendance. Former World No. 1 professional tennis player Tracy Austin will make a special appearance at the tournament on Feb. 6 as honorary host of “Pink Day,” which supports Susan G. Komen Dallas County.
CyrusOne has a strong presence in Texas, with 12 data center sites, including its corporate headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Carrollton, where it operates one of the most energy-efficient data centers in the country and the largest in the state of Texas. Because these locations are tied into the CyrusOne National Internet Exchange (National IX), CyrusOne also provides cost-efficient robust Internet connectivity for customers to engage with their own enterprise-owned facilities as well as third-party facilities locally and across the country.
Delivering Best-in-Class Enterprise Facilities, Connectivity, and Open-IX Certification
CyrusOne specializes in highly reliable enterprise data center services and colocation solutions, and engineers its facilities to include the power-density infrastructure required to deliver excellent availability, including an available highest possible power redundancy (2N) architecture.

CyrusOne was also recently the first to receive multi-site data center certification from the Open-IX (OIX) Association. This certification highlights that CyrusOne facilities have achieved the highest quality for power, cooling, security, and, most importantly, for carrier neutral connectivity. The OIX Association has a mandate to promote resilient interconnection in hub cities to facilitate a more resilient Internet.
