The first thing you should know about our Dallas datacenter facility is that it is hardened and very strong. In fact, we were recently put to the test when an impaired driver crashed into our DAL1 building at an approximate 45-degree angle. The incident was captured on one of our outdoor security cameras. The video of the incident is on the left, while on the right is a picture of the area the vehicle struck. As you can see from the picture, there was no damage to the building, even though it was struck at a relatively high rate of speed.

The only evidence left the next morning was paint that had scraped off of the car.

Our DAL1 Dallas colocation datacenter was originally constructed in 1953 and features solid masonry walls 14 inches thick, a 3 foot elevation from ground level, and a newly upgraded weather-resistant roofing system designed to handle the worst weather conditions likely to occur in our region.
