The Infomart at 1950 N Stemmons Freeway has belonged to Equinix since 3 April 2018, when an US$800 million debt-and-cash purchase handed the company roughly 1.6 million gross sq ft of Dallas carrier hotel. Equinix gives the building no IBX code of its own. What it codes are the suites: DA1, DA2, DA3 and DA6 sit inside 1950 N Stemmons, and DA11 is next door at 1990. Ownership has not made the address single-operator either. Flexential, Cologix and DataBank all keep space in the building, which means a Dallas buyer can hold the same carrier position and still choose between four companies on suite size, power density, contract and support. Fifty-nine networks reach the building-level interconnection point and three exchanges open onto it - DE-CIX Dallas, NetIX and DFW-IX. The practical warning for anyone shopping here is to establish which operator's suite an offer covers before comparing it with another, because at this address the postcode is the one thing every bidder shares.
Which company owns the Infomart building in Dallas?
Equinix, which completed a US$800 million purchase of it on 3 April 2018 and runs four of its own IBX suites inside.
What is Equinix's IBX code for the Infomart?
There isn't one. Equinix codes the suites rather than the building, so DA1, DA2, DA3 and DA6 are the Infomart addresses, with DA11 across the street at 1990 N Stemmons Freeway.
Which other colocation operators hold space at 1950 N Stemmons Freeway?
Flexential, Cologix and DataBank each run suites in the building alongside the Equinix IBXs.
Which internet exchanges open onto the Infomart?
DE-CIX Dallas, NetIX and DFW-IX, on top of fifty-nine networks reachable at the building interconnection point.
How should a buyer compare offers inside the Infomart?
By operator rather than by address. The carrier reach of the building is common to everyone in it, so suite size, power density, term and support are what actually differ.
