DALLAS, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NetActuate is happy to announce its expansion to the DFW1 data center, a flagship facility known for its industry-leading power redundancy and reliability. This state-of-the-art facility, operated by DataBank, is located in Dallas, Texas, and provides an unparalleled level of power infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service for NetActuate’s customers.
The DFW1 facility features a robust 2N power design, a 7MW critical IT load capacity, and flexible power options, including 120V, 208V, 3P AC, and available DC power, ensuring unmatched reliability. Separate A and B power feeds from the substation to customer equipment guarantee continuous uptime even during power disruptions.

- Robust Backup Power Generation –
To complement its utility power, DFW1 is equipped with a comprehensive generator lineup featuring Cummins/Onan and Caterpillar units, each with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 MW. These generators are arranged in redundant pairs, with fuel tanks holding between 1,900 and 5,000 gallons, ensuring extended operational capacity in case of a utility power failure.
- Advanced Cooling and UPS Systems –
Cooling is provided by 10 rooftop dry coolers, supporting up to 15 CRAC units per floor. Additionally, the facility’s 18+ UPS units, sourced from trusted manufacturers Active Power and Mitsubishi, offer complete redundancy from the inbound power feeds to the customer cabinets. This ensures that critical systems remain operational at all times.
