IBM DAL05 — Dallas Cloud and Facility Context
Overview
IBM DAL05 needs to be written as a cloud-location and legacy-facility record, not as an assumed retail colocation offer. IBM’s current Cloud IP ranges documentation continues to list `dal05` as a Dallas data-center location, including classic-infrastructure network ranges. That is evidence of a current IBM Cloud location code and service footprint. It is not a published street address, tenant inventory, or current facility availability notice.
TYPE3’s map data and third-party directory history associate DAL05 with 4849 Alpha Road, Dallas, Texas 75244, the former SoftLayer headquarters. IBM’s archived certification material and historical directory records support that address and the SoftLayer-to-IBM Cloud brand transition. The sources reviewed do not independently confirm whether the physical site remains customer-facing, whether it has been consolidated, or whether IBM offers third-party cabinets there. That uncertainty is material, and legacy generator, server, or power figures are not current facts.
This record still has commercial value for buyers searching IBM Dallas cloud infrastructure, classic IBM Cloud services, or the DAL05 code in firewall and network documentation. IBM can confirm the current location, service type, contracting entity, and whether any physical colocation or managed hosting product is sold from the site. IBM DAL05 remains separate from IBM DAL01, IBM DAL04, and Dallas network listings.
