New Dallas Data Center Launch
Dallas - December 1, 2004
Sprocket Networks is pleased to announce the official launch of their newest data center, DAL1, housed within the renowned 2020 Live Oak building in Dallas' central business district. Dallas' relatively mild climate, central geographic location, lack of seismic activity, and inland distance from any coast make it a prime choice over other strategic locations often affected by natural disasters.
While Dallas is home to many Fortune 500 corporations and leading technology companies, it is also a robust regional center for domestic and international businesses. Serviced by the world's fourth busiest airport, DFW International, Dallas is a logical choice for easy access from anywhere.
Located within blocks of three major Southwestern Bell central switching offices (Ross, Taylor and Riverside), our DAL1 data center is located in the heart of a massive fiber optic intersection. For clients with specific connectivity needs, SDI offers the ability to connect with leading providers of IP Transit both with "On-Net" presence in the building as well as without.
Featuring advanced fire suppression, multi-grid power feeds, battery UPS, diesel generator standby power, and multi-layered security, SDI's DAL1 is an excellent choice for any client's hosting needs. More details on DAL1 can be found at www.sprocketnetworks.com/datacenter.htm
Sprocket Networks announces new Data Center
Dallas - September 2, 2004
Sprocket Networks is proud to announce plans to open a new data center in the heart of Dallas ' 2020 Live Oak carrier hotel. Portions of the existing collocation, dedicated server, and related hosting services currently residing at 10717 Plano Road , will be transitioned to the new facility. Some support staff will also be relocated for on-site administration. Sales, Accounting, Design/Development, and general Corporate functions will remain at the current North Dallas location.
Build out will begin immediately; with facilities to be client-ready in late September/early October. Connectivity is expected to be in place mid-September.
"After looking at all options, including some competing space, we felt that being in 2020 Live Oak gives us the best option for our growth strategies" says Sprocket Networks CEO Jeffrey Johnston . "The building's ownership and management provide faculties for companies such as XO, AT&T, MCI, Time Warner, and Sprint. Talking with representatives from those companies, we walked away very impressed. Being in a carrier grade facility gives us a competitive advantage most other data centers can't afford. There are few buildings in the Metroplex with the redundant power and fiber feeds that 2020 has. We simply feel our clients will be best served here."
"Having our data center and network in a building like 2020 is great," says Lester Fichtner , "The building is twelve stories of solid concrete, fed by several power grids, with diesel generators, and has on-net fiber from almost every major IP transit player. Security and redundancy are the name of the game."

Dallas Colocation- Who says there's no free lunch?
Dallas - February 12, 2004
Dallas colocation clients already know the friendly faces of the Sprocket Networks Support Team. Now, out of state and international clients are invited to the Sprocket Networks Data Center whenever they're in Dallas. Not only that, but Sprocket Networks will even provide complimentary lunch when scheduling permits. "Really, we're always excited to extend old-fashioned Texas hospitality to any of our clients. However, with our Remote Hands services, we don't always get to meet our colocation clients face-to-face. Our Dallas colocation clients like meeting the staff, but often our clients' servers are usually shipped in for our staff to rack up. This gives our clients the option to meet the folks who keep their web servers operational" says Shawn Devlin.
