GPU capacity in Dallas, Texas.
Dallas has become one of the strongest answers to the power problem: an independent grid, land, and a build rate that has outpaced most of the country. For training workloads it is frequently better value than the coasts.
What decides a deployment in this metro.
Why buyers come here, and what they run into.
Texas has what the coastal metros do not: room and power. The ERCOT grid operates largely independently of the eastern and western interconnections, and the state has added generation, particularly wind and solar, at a pace few places match. For a buyer whose largest lifetime cost is electricity, that matters more than proximity to an exchange point.
Dallas-Fort Worth specifically combines that power position with central-US latency, meaning it serves both coasts acceptably rather than one perfectly. For a great many workloads that is the right trade.
The design that actually works.
We see Dallas most often as the training half of a split design: sustained capacity here, inference wherever the users are, connected privately. It is also increasingly a primary site in its own right for cost-sensitive buyers.
The honest caveat is grid independence. It reduces exposure to constraints elsewhere and increases exposure to Texas-specific events, so resilience design deserves real attention rather than a boilerplate answer. Wider context sits on the United States desk.
Start from what is verified.
Current verified lines with quantities, lead times and indicative pricing are public on the live inventory. Anything not listed becomes a sourcing requirement with a first pass inside one business day.
Colocation in Dallas, through the same desk.
The desk sources colocation, racks and power in this metro as well as the compute that fills them. Dallas rides ERCOT power economics, which is why AI-density builds keep landing there ahead of coastal metros. Requirements come to us as three numbers: megawatts at day one, kilowatts per rack, and the date. The space and power desk takes it from there, and above 40 kW per rack we will tell you honestly how short the local shortlist is.
Asked first, answered straight.
Yes. Space, power and cooling in this metro route through the same desk as the compute, priced against your density and date. Above 40 kW per rack the local shortlist narrows quickly, and we say so rather than tour you through halls that cannot take the load.
Power availability and land. Texas has added generation quickly and the ERCOT grid has capacity that the coastal markets are queueing for. Power is the largest lifetime cost on a cluster, so that difference compounds.
It changes the risk rather than removing it. Lower exposure to constraints in other interconnections, higher exposure to Texas-specific events. Resilience design should reflect that explicitly.
For most workloads, yes. It serves both coasts acceptably rather than either perfectly. If you need sub-millisecond proximity to a specific exchange, that is a different requirement.
US-located stock quotes in days with no import event for domestic buyers. Racked deployment timelines depend on the facility.
Working through this on a real requirement?
