Switch Austin/Houston Campuses — ex-Data Foundry
Overview
TYPE3’s map data lists Switch Austin/Houston Campuses (ex-Data Foundry) as an operating wholesale/build-to-suit portfolio in Travis County, with a 50 MW estimate. Its notes state that Switch acquired Texas-based Data Foundry in 2021, gaining Austin’s “The Rock” campus and Houston facilities, and that a further Central Texas exascale expansion was announced. The row is therefore a portfolio/campus grouping, not one building with one undifferentiated power block.
Switch’s current Austin page confirms the Data Foundry acquisition lineage and describes The Rock in Austin as part of Switch’s Texas ecosystem. Switch’s acquisition announcement says Data Foundry had four Texas multi-tenant data centers, with Austin expansion capability up to 44 MW at full buildout and a Houston campus able to support 18 MW of customer power at full buildout. These are source-labeled capability or buildout figures. They do not verify current load, vacancy, or a 50 MW available block, and the Austin/Houston figures must not be added without scope confirmation.
For search, use this page as a Switch portfolio bridge and link to distinct Austin and Houston facility pages. Preserve the Data Foundry predecessor name for discovery, but do not merge it with unrelated Switch PRIME or exascale developments. Ask Switch/Data Foundry for current facility names, ownership/operator mapping, energized IT load, utility and backup layers, contracted capacity, and site-specific availability.
Questions
What are Switch’s ex-Data Foundry campuses?
They are Austin and Houston data-center facilities acquired by Switch from Data Foundry in 2021. Switch’s current Austin page preserves that lineage and identifies The Rock ecosystem. Individual facilities should be treated separately from the portfolio row.
Is Switch’s 50 MW figure current available power?
No. TYPE3’s map data labels 50 MW as an estimate. Switch’s acquisition announcement gives separate Austin and Houston full-buildout capability figures, which are not current load or vacancy. Request site-specific commercial and engineering data.
Are Austin and Houston one campus?
No. They are separate geographic facility groups under the acquired Data Foundry portfolio. The Austin and Houston sites, legacy names, planned expansions, and any Switch PRIME developments should not be merged into one available block.
