Evocative DAL1 — Plano, Texas Data Center
Overview
Evocative’s DAL1 page identifies its Plano, Texas facility as a Dallas-market colocation location for disaster recovery, high-density computing, and mission-critical workloads. The current page describes 300,000 square feet, 24/7/365 security and monitoring, PUE 1.15, N+2 design, twelve 2.0 MW generators, 2 x 600 kW 2N UPS backup, a dedicated substation with diverse utility feeds, and Starline busway power delivery. It also lists carriers and partners including Charter, Cogent, Frontier, Logix, Lumen, Zayo, AT&T, Spectrum, and Evocative IP.
Evocative’s power table uses the heading `LOAD` and reports 30 MW. That field should be attributed exactly to the operator rather than rewritten as current consumption, critical IT load, utility capacity, or sellable inventory. The generator and UPS figures are separate infrastructure layers and must not be added to the 30 MW label. TYPE3’s announced/zero-MW seed is stale relative to the active operator profile, but a status refresh should preserve the source date and the metric definition.
Plano is the canonical location modifier and distinguishes DAL1 from Evocative DAL6 and from generic Dallas searches. Internal links should connect the two Evocative Plano records without merging them. The page can target colocation, high-density, cloud-connectivity, and disaster-recovery intent, while sending current pricing and cabinet availability to Evocative. Certifications and uptime language should remain operator claims, not Type 3 guarantees.
