Lumen Austin 1 Data Center 4207 Smith School Rd

Status: Operational   |   Location: 4207 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744, USA

Project Overview

The Lumen Austin 1 facility, located at 4207 Smith School Road in southeast Austin, Texas, represents a strategic enterprise colocation center and carrier-neutral network node within the city's established Silicon Hills technology corridor. Situated near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the approximately 75,474-square-foot single-story facility provides around 5 megawatts of total critical power capacity designed to support cloud edge deployments, corporate IT infrastructure, disaster recovery environments, telecommunications equipment, and other mission-critical workloads. Its location in southeast Austin provides convenient access to major transportation routes while placing customers close to the region's growing technology and enterprise ecosystem. Electrical infrastructure is supplied through dual independent utility feeds from Austin Energy, creating diverse power pathways that enhance operational resilience. Static uninterruptible power supply configurations provide conditioned backup power for critical IT systems, while dedicated standby emergency diesel generators with multi-day fuel reserves are designed to sustain essential operations during extended utility interruptions. The facility is engineered for high availability and thermal efficiency, incorporating an N+1 HVAC architecture alongside precision air-handling units to maintain stable environmental conditions throughout its raised-access data halls. This infrastructure provides flexible thermal management for enterprise servers, network equipment, and other computing systems with varying density requirements. As an important interconnection point within the Lumen global fiber backbone, Lumen Austin 1 provides diverse subterranean dark fiber entrances and direct cross-connect capabilities for customers requiring reliable access to regional and national networks. These connectivity options enable low-latency transit to major Texas cloud hubs, telecommunications carriers, enterprise networks, and broader national fiber infrastructure. By combining resilient power systems, efficient environmental controls, secure colocation space, and extensive network connectivity, Lumen Austin 1 serves as a dependable digital infrastructure platform supporting cloud, enterprise, telecommunications, and disaster recovery requirements across Austin and the wider Texas technology market.
