Colocation for Houston
We build the best data center experiences and we’re never going to stop.
We deliver data center experiences that are fast, reliable and enjoyable. We charge a fair price for a high-quality experience, that’s why we carry the best overall value against on-prem, cloud, and any of our competitors. But our amazing infrastructure is just the beginning.
We are hands-on and never shy away from the difficult stuff – it’s what sets us apart from the rest. Through our unique Colo+ feature, we offer the best fully managed datacenter colocation experience around. Just send us your hardware and we’ll take care of everything else.
Since opening our facility in late 2018, we have become the most reviewed and highest rated data center in Houston. Our management team has a record of 100% uptime in over 15 years of service.
We have a passion and we want to share it with you.
Houston Data Center Features:
Our brutally effective approach to fully quantifying every potential risk and then solving for it leaves nothing to chance.
Hurricane Force Winds
According to the NOAA Inland Wind Model, in the worst-case scenario category 5 hurricane our datacenter would receive wind speeds of 110-127mph. TRG is built to withstand a wind load ratio of 185mph, far meeting and exceeding our theoretical maximum.
70% of roof damage following a hurricane is due to loose HVAC equipment rolling across the membrane that can cause many small holes. TRG has zero rooftop equipment, meaning no possibility of rooftop damage. This is complemented by our state-of-the-art 4-inch thick sloping roof with fully redundant leak protection.
– TRG has our Infinifuel program to continue the supply of our generators for an unlimited number of hours for the duration of any outage.
This is the wind speed model for the worst case scenario; a category 5 hurricane at a forward motion of 24 knots otherwise known as “The Big One,” which has yet to happen.
Other Disasters Quantified & Conclusively Mitigated
Torrential Rain / Flooding
TRG is 65 miles inland from the coast, lies outside of the 500 year floodplain and is 4 ft above grade. We also pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art 4-inch thick sloping roof with fully redundant leak protection.
Construction (Cable Cuts)
Multiple isolated entries for fiber and power.
Extreme Wet-bulb/Dry-bulb
We design to run for an unlimited number of hours for the duration of any outage on the hottest and coldest day of the year even under a fault condition while fully loaded.
HAZMAT
Our Spring, TX location is not near any pipelines or hazardous material storage, 1+ mile from highways, and 1.5+ miles away from railway lines.
Subsurface Faults
Our Spring, TX location is outside of any subsurface fault areas.
TRG Datacenters was built and is operated by an accredited tier designer certified by the Uptime Institute. Our facility was drawn up specifically to meet the needs of Houston. Since we are a purpose-built data center and not a retrofit, we were able to customize our infrastructure. Our facility is actually fault tolerant. With multiple equal power and cooling systems TRG is designed with no single point of failure.
Always free cross connects.
Interconnect anywhere in the world with our world class providers for cheaper than any other carriers. Our experienced network concierges will recommend the best provider based on your needs from our multiple carriers.
TRG has achieved true fault tolerance by having fully physically isolated Meet Me Rooms with no common entry point.

Chris Hinkle: Our Chief Un-datacenter Officer
Chris Hinkle has written the thesis on true fault tolerance in infrastructure, he’s moved beyond that and is now creating unforgettable experiences around autonomous delivery to align with your digital transformation objectives. Chris’ hobbies include summarily un-datacentering age-old assumptions of the traditional datacenter model. Chris is the world’s first 3rd generation datacenter operator. He is an Accredited Tier Designer from the Uptime Institute, one of three in Houston and the only affiliated with a colocation. At prior positions, he developed and ran the datacenter for 4 of the top 5 hospitals in the State of Georgia.
He has held prior research oriented positions working on Military/DoD applications at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the birthplace of ARPANET. Chris is published in the areas of power systems and sensors. While at MIT, Chris was a member of the MITLL Energy Initiative, and also performed work on DHS security applications for Airport systems.
He obtained his BS Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, Magna Cum Laude, and his MBA from Emory University.
