Data Foundry Data Ranch Austin Campus

Operating · Data Foundry · 4100 Smith School Road, Austin, TX

Data Ranch is Data Foundry's Austin colocation campus at 4100 Smith School Road, home to Data Foundry 01 and Data Foundry 02, formerly Texas 1 and Texas 2. Its development spans DF01's 2011 opening and DF02's late-2017 opening, with later phases distinguished from the space already built. The campus uses redundant utility feeds and carrier-neutral networking for enterprise and disaster-recovery deployments. Austin Energy's 2018 rebate assessment documents efficiency improvements at Texas 2, including estimated energy savings rather than measured consumption. Switch acquired Data Foundry in 2021; this campus is separate from Switch's Rock location at Dell's headquarters.
