TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM CONSIDERS NEW DATA CENTER
The data center, which would be built at the RELLIS campus in Bryan, would be an attractive location for companies in Houston because it would be removed from the coast’s hurricane zone, but still be relatively close to their operations. Companies in Austin, Dallas and Bryan-College Station also could take advantage of a remote data center.
The data center at RELLIS – along with an accompanying network operations center and security operations center – would offer a safe place to back up data and provide information technology services for large and small companies, government agencies and other entities.
“We’ve been considering a data center since 2013, but the land and power supply wasn’t readily available,” Chancellor Sharp said. “After the creation of the RELLIS campus last year, several companies approached us about the possibility of a public-private partnership to build it.”
