DataBank Plano Campus — DFW3 and DFW8

DataBank’s current Plano campus page identifies a 16-acre campus at 8375 Dominion Parkway, Plano, Texas 75024. The parent page contains two child facilities: DFW3 with 72,230 IT square feet and 12 MW of critical IT load, and DFW8 with 126,000 IT square feet and 40 MW of critical IT load. DataBank reports 43 onsite carriers for each child and describes metro connectivity through Data Center Interconnect.

The parent-versus-child relationship is the central editorial issue. The campus total of 198,230 IT square feet and 54 MW is the sum of DataBank’s two published child metrics, but the parent page should not be counted as a third building. A reader searching for DFW3 or DFW8 should land on an address-specific child page with the child’s own capacity label, while the campus page explains the shared property, dual feeds, and relationship to DataBank’s wider Dallas portfolio.

DataBank describes the Plano campus as powered by dual feeds from an off-site Oncor substation. That is useful grid-relevance context, but it does not state the campus’s utility service limit, current draw, or available customer capacity. “Critical IT load” is an operator design metric and should remain separate from live IT load, generator capacity, and sellable inventory. The current operator page supports an active customer-facing campus identity, so this record can use verified language while retaining the field definitions exactly.
