Rackspace Dallas 2 Data Center (DFW3)

TYPE3’s map data name “Rackspace Dallas 2” remains a discovery alias while the canonical identity is reconciled to Rackspace DFW3. Rackspace’s current DFW3 page describes a Dallas-area data center supporting managed hybrid solutions, colocation, dedicated hosting, network management, managed security, compliance management, and hybrid cloud. Rackspace’s RackConnect documentation identifies DFW3 as a Rackspace data center in Richardson, Texas, with an Integrity Drive address. A secondary facility listing uses 1215 Integrity Drive, while Rackspace documentation uses 1251 Integrity Drive; those references should not be silently collapsed into one verified street address.

The operator publishes a useful technical profile: 28 MW of utility capacity, true 2N power configuration, 19 MW of on-site generator capacity, redundant cooling loops, and a carrier-neutral environment with more than 20 Tier 1 providers. These are infrastructure and service figures, not current customer IT load or available inventory. Generator capacity is backup nameplate capacity and must remain separate from utility service and compute demand.

For search, “Rackspace Dallas 2” can capture legacy map and aggregator intent, but the canonical page can lead with “Rackspace DFW3” and “Richardson” so it does not compete with Dallas Infomart, Equinix DA1, or other Dallas records. The current operator evidence supports an active customer-facing facility identity, while the alias and address conflict remain editorial reconciliation items. A final page preserves both address variants only in a source note until Rackspace confirms the canonical address.
