The Dallas Infomart is a 1.5 million square foot (147,000 sqm) building whose design was modled after the The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park.
The Infomart is the center of network Interconnection in Dallas. In fact, the Infomart is the nexus of the Interconnection marketplace for the entire South Central United States. Digital Realty's 2323 Bryant Street building is the only other site in Dallas that has reasonable network density.
Infomart Meet-Me-Room is on the 4th floor
Open-access parking or dedicated parking is available
It appears that Equinix operates many 'data centers' in the Infomart. Equinix's website lists DA1, DA2, DA3, and DA6.
But in reality, they are different suites in the same building. DA1 was Equinix's original suite and part of the company's launch into six markets in 2000. DA3 was acquired in 2010 from Switch and Data. DA2 and DA4 were organic expansions before Equinix acquired the Infomart building in 2018.
