(Webhosting.info) Company adds second Dallas datacenter with space for 10,000 additional servers.

SoftLayer, a web hosting provider, today announced the immediate availability of a second datacenter facility in Dallas as well as a complete upgrade of the their core networking infrastructure in Dallas at an investment of more than $5 million.

The company articulated that the new facility features 220 new racks, more than doubling their server capacity in Dallas. It has its own multiple power feeds supported by independent UPS systems and generators for failover, while leveraging the same network operations as the existing SoftLayer facility.

“The new datacenter resides within the same building as our current facility, but it is completely redundant from all other risk variables,
including power, bandwidth, and cooling,” stated Lance Crosby, CEO of SoftLayer. “This allows us to deliver an additional level of failover and disaster recovery for customers seeking redundant Dallas facilities.”
