Data Foundry is a Texas-based colocation and network services provider that owns and operates purpose-built, carrier-neutral data centers in Austin and Houston, offering retail and wholesale colocation, disaster recovery, managed services, and connectivity to enterprise customers. As of 2024, the company’s Austin campus includes three interconnected facilities (Data Foundry 00, 01, and 02, also branded Austin 1, Texas 1, and Texas 2) while its Houston campus centers on the large Houston 2 facility, together representing tens of megawatts of built and expandable power capacity. Founded in 1994 as one of the first 50 U.S. internet service providers, Data Foundry moved into colocation in 1999 and built a reputation for owner-operated, high-security facilities aimed at HPC-capable workloads. In 2021, Las Vegas-based Switch, Inc. announced a $420 million all-cash acquisition of Data Foundry, using the Austin and Houston campuses to anchor its fifth ‘Prime’ data center region and expand its national U.S. presence into the Central Texas market.

Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it.
