Dallas…Home Sweet Home!

CoreSpace relocated its headquarters to Dallas in 2012. We acquired our 30,000-square-foot building at 7505 John W Carpenter Fwy., near Mockingbird Lane and have quickly been filling up our new data center.

Dallas won out over several other markets.  Dallas brought a couple things to the mix: a large pool of employees—the depth of technical resources here is astronomical and second, Texas has its own power grid, which is very favorable for a data center in terms of stability.

In Dallas, we decided to own rather than lease. We wanted to control the facility and the costs.  Now we can lock in long-term vendor contracts and pass those savings directly to our customers. We know cost and consistency are critical.

Please take a few minutes to explore our Dallas Headquarters!
