H5 expands its San Antonio data center

H5  this week announced the phase three expansion of its 100 Taylor Street facility, adding an additional 340 cabinets and up to 1.5MW of additional UPS capacity. This site, located at 100 Taylor Street, was acquired by H5 in 2018 and was previously owned by the Texas ISP Taylor Telecom. It is an 85,000 square feet carrier hotel in downtown San Antonio, featuring more than 30 carriers, with H5 saying five new communications providers have deployed infrastructure at the site over 2023

Josh Simms, founder and CEO of H5 Data Centers, said, "International carriers, regional Internet service providers, and enterprises continue to add to the growing San Antonio interconnection ecosystem. Given San Antonio’s strategic position along key long haul fiber routes and location in South Texas, our data center is well positioned for continued IT infrastructure services growth, serving the growing demand for colocation space and services in San Antonio and Austin."

The company operates more than 20 data centers across the US; the San Antonio site is the company’s only facility in Texas.
