MD Anderson Data Center At 5610 Guhn Rd.


Highrise Tower

Recommended Posts

Found a rendering of the MD Anderson data center located at 5610 Guhn Road this week. I've personally never seen this so I thought I would share with HAIF. Cool find!

I wonder what type of clearance at MDACC you would have to have to enter this building? Probably only executives and technology professionals.

Interesting location, by the way.  You would think they could have bought an industrial warehouse off Almeda and Corder. That's where MD Anderson's industrial buildings are located.  The Guhn Road Data Center must have been an old deal or they got the space for incredibly cheap.

Owned by MDA since 2003, former home of a computer services company named Solid Systems. Looks like there's 3 generators, 3 cooling towers, and a fairly large diesel tank.

It's probably better to have a data center located more to the North, as the risk of flooding and hurricane damage will be less than anything to the South. And, the building was probably available and had the infrastructure to support a data center. Power, ability to have multiple network feeds, etc.
