Shackelford County (Frontier)
Data Center Campus

Vantage’s Frontier campus will feature the most state-of-the-art electrical equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. The campus will offer N+1 redundancy across its systems, all supported by a world-class in-house operations team ensuring customer uptime. 

• Multiple, diverse power feeds supporting the campus 
• Rack densities up to 1.4kW per square foot  

Our Frontier campus is optimized to preserve resources in the community and will use a highly efficient closed-loop chiller system which requires minimal water for cooling, saving billions of gallons of water annually.  

• Combined air-cooled and liquid-to-liquid cooling to support next generation GPU workloads   
• Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units located in two galleries on opposite sides of each data module allow for highly efficient airflow distribution 
• Closed-loop chilled water system 
• Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE) will be near zero (liters/kW/hr) using the latest cooling designs 
• N+1 redundancy across all mechanical systems 

Frontier will offer multiple, diverse fiber pathways into the campus with access to both dark and lit fiber. The campus will be carrier neutral, giving you the flexibility to manage your own network. 

• Major fiber-based service providers operating within a few miles of the campus including AT&T, Fiberlight, Windstream and Zayo  
• Three Meet-Me-Rooms (MMRs) per building allowing for diverse paths and multiple connectivity options 
• One point-of-entry (POE) per building ensuring maximum path diversity for inbound carriers 
• Diverse fiber pathways into the campus (minimum two paths per carrier) 

Stringent security and safety measures are hallmarks of every Vantage campus. Our Frontier data center campus is no exception, so you can rest easy when it comes to the security of your digital assets. 

• On-site security operations center with patrols 24x7x365 
• Perimeter security gates and fencing 
• CCTV on all access control points throughout the entire campus 
• Dual authentication (access badge/PIN and biometric readers) for customer and critical infrastructure areas 
• Visitor management system and badging to control and track onsite personnel  

A space where your employees can work efficiently, as well as relax and recharge, is essential. To provide that superior customer environment, Frontier will offer dedicated office space, conference rooms and large-scale break room facilities with food, games, entertainment and more. 

• Customizable offices and workspaces dedicated to individual customers 
• Secure storage with easy access between data modules 
• Multiple conference rooms and meeting spaces throughout the campus 
• Proximity to local amenities, including restaurants, shopping, entertainment and the Abilene Regional Airport   

Vantage Data Centers builds and operates our campuses in ways that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, all while delivering the reliability that is our hallmark. Our baseline approach includes using renewable energy whenever possible, limiting carbon footprints and maintaining energy efficient operations with industry-leading PUEs, in addition to our commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Our Frontier campus will deliver on this promise. 

• Hyper-efficient cooling with outside air economization using minimal water 
• Pursuing LEED certification for the campus 
• Small things that add up over time: recycling, motion-sensor LED lights, drought-resistant landscaping and more
