Cogent Houston — 12061 North Freeway
Overview
Cogent’s current Houston brochure identifies a facility at 12061 North Freeway, Houston, Texas 77060. The brochure lists 27,460 square feet, including 19,086 square feet of non-raised space, 42U APC cabinets, custom cages, free Wi-Fi, port sizes up to 100GE, and carriers including Cogent, AT&T, and ICTX. Security includes card-reader access, PIN entry, continuous building monitoring, and camera recording; the environment uses multiple HVAC units and pre-action fire protection.
The address is distinct from Cogent Houston 2 at 8902 Point 6 Circle. Cogent publishes separate brochures and the service-location index lists separate address-level entries, so the two facility records remain separate even though both are branded Cogent Houston. The North Freeway site is also near other Houston data-center and carrier facilities, which makes the exact address important for search and deduplication.
The brochure lists multiple UPS units and two 1,500 kW Cummins diesel generators. These are resilience and backup infrastructure details, not a statement of current IT load, utility service, or customer-available power. No verified operating MW or availability figure was found for 12061 North Freeway. The facility’s useful search context is Cogent Houston colocation, the North Freeway location, carrier access, and address-level differentiation. If a future Cogent source publishes a capacity figure, preserve its date and definition rather than treating it as availability automatically.
