RELLIS Campus Data and Research Center
Texas A&M University
Opening Fall, 2024
The RELLIS Data and Research Center (“RCDRC”) is a unique public – private development with Texas A&M University. A data center directly affiliated with Texas A&M University. The data center will be built on the new RELLIS Campus located in College Station, Texas. The RELLIS Data and Research Center will offer cloud storage and outstanding managed services. The RELLIS Academy and Research Lab offers the ability for Texas A&M University to give real world data center experience to both students and faculty.
The objective is to build out a public private partnership that is also beneficial scholastically. For many years the technology industry has seen a fluctuation in engineering needs. RDRC has assembled a team that has the level of experience and expertise required to not only build a world class data center but to build a world class training center as well. Our team is unanimously committed to this objective.
Chancellor John Sharp’s Vision Becomes Reality
Texas A&M has been wanting to add a data center at its main campus in Bryan-College Station for many years.
With the development of the new 2,000 acre RELLIS Campus master plan that data center is now becoming a reality.
Chancellor John Sharp had the vision of establishing a state of the art data center with a significant educational component. This A&M System data center will provide classroom space for students pursuing degrees from the System’s regional campuses. These regional campuses will offer programs at RELLIS, such as Texas A&M University-Kingsville and Texas A&M University-Commerce.
Further, the facility will allow the A&M System to help the region by offering technical workforce training. Through an effort with the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service, or TEEX, the System will be able to leverage the data center facilities to provide certification programs to train people in information security, network engineering and other specialties.
RELLIS Data and Research Center
Centrally Located To Serve All Major Texas Cities
To be constructed on the new RELLIS Campus at Texas A&M University, this data center facility will service the major Texas business hubs. The RELLIS Data Center is almost equidistant between Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio. This is a very attractive location for the four prime Texas markets.
The location of the RELLIS Data Center will also capitalize on the facility’s location outside of hurricane, earthquake, tornado and flooding zones. This unique location will provide reliable disaster recovery and related services to its clients.
The RELLIS Campus Data Center will be developed in multiple phases comprising up to 300,000 sq. ft. when fully completed.
Phase I will comprise 75,000 sq. ft. with subsequent phases each comprising 50,000 sq. ft.
RELLIS Data and Research Center Offering a Wide Range of Services
The primary offering will comprise the licensing of data center rack space to large corporations, government and education entities. RDRC’s objective is to offer long term solutions for its clients providing a 100% reliable data center utilizing
the most advanced technology combined with extraordinary customer service.
RDRC will also offer a comprehensive Managed Services Portfolio together with its
Network Operations Center and Security Operations Center.
The Texas A&M University College of Engineering (and other colleges, A&M System institutions, A&M System agencies,
departments or units at A&M System) are anticipated to also utilize the facility. The objective is to provide a wide range of unique services for University research. Those services include developing, testing, evaluating and deploying technologies in areas such as data analytics, robotics and cyber security.
