CyrusOne Zero Water Consumption Cooling: No water is consumed to cool this facility (such as water towers or evaporative cooling). Minimal amounts of water are used for humidification and facility maintenance. This facility uses highly efficient chillers, variable frequency drives, and energy-efficient CRAH units to achieve high efficiency air-cooled chilling. An average US data center of the same size typically consumes over 1 million gallons of water per month to cool them.
Regional Water Stress: The Austin area currently faces low to medium water stress, which is projected to increase to high stress in the future. Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne’s Austin II facility does not use water for cooling and is therefore insulated from this regional water risk, both current and future.

Water Risk and Use	Now	2030 Projection	2040 Projection
Regional Water Stress	Low to Medium	Medium to High	High
CyrusOne Water Use	Zero Consumption	Zero Consumption	Zero Consumption

(Risk assessment and projections based on WRI Aqueduct Tool)

Regional Grid Greenhouse Gases: How much greenhouse gas does this facility’s local electrical grid emit while generating electricity? (Useful for Location-based greenhouse gas reporting)

Greenhouse Gases	2004	2007	2012	2016	2018
MTCO2/MWh	0.644	0.568	0.518	0.458	0.423

The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 2.3% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).
Regional Grid Renewables: What percentage of this facility’s local electrical grid is from renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal)?

Grid Renewables	2004	2007	2012	2016	2018
Percent from renewable sources	1.3%	2.7%	8.6%	14.5%	18.2%

This has been increasing about 1.2% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Based on US EPA eGRID data for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).

Virtual Tour

Production & Disaster Recovery

Designed to CyrusOne’s power, cooling, and security standards, the campus is ideal for production and disaster recovery server environments for national, international, and local companies. It will offer fully redundant infrastructure and will be backed by 100% Uptime Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Conveniently located just 7 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the Austin facility is surrounded by access to well-appointed hotels and several restaurants.

Massively Modular^® Engineering

CyrusOne’s Massively Modular data center engineering is specifically designed to achieve optimal flexibility for even the largest scale deployment and build out.

CyrusOne can build out new data halls in just 12-16 weeks through aggressive sourcing and a just-in-time focus to meet customer demand.

The Massively Modular model frees customers from being confined by time, space, and/or flexibility constraints often found in other data center providers.

The Nation’s First National Internet Exchange

With CyrusOne’s National IX (Internet Exchange), customers can configure a virtual on-net platform from a multitude of carriers and providers, allowing optimal flexibility and interconnection with anyone at any connected facility and to the cloud – at no additional cost.

As part of CyrusOne’s National IX platform, this Austin data center will provide interconnection to other CyrusOne data centers in Texas and beyond.
