Building Design

After years of data center management experience, DFT accumulated the expertise and knowledge to design and build the most efficient and robust data centers available on the market. Our in-house development, operations and management teams are committed to delivering high quality and reliable assets to our clients.

By focusing on the client’s requirement for secure, cost effective, dedicated and reliable power and cooling environments, DFT has become an industry leader in providing outsourced data center needs.

Lease Structure

As a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), DFT understands the benefits of transparent and fair pricing. That is why our clients’ leases are based upon a triple net structure. Base rent is charged on a cost per kilowatt reserved basis, allowing for a denser computing environment. Power is metered at the PDU level and is directly passed through utilizing our wholesale power rates with no markup. Additionally, clients pay for their pro rata share of the building’s operating expenses which are passed through without markup. By leveraging the data center size, our clients are able to realize economies of scale and operational expertise across all platforms.

Carrier-Neutral

DuPont Fabros Technology is a carrier-neutral data center provider. Network connectivity is available to DFT clients through multiple fiber providers and lit carriers. There are multiple Point-of-Entries (POE) available in each facility for diverse fiber entrance into the facility and a common telecommunications demark room or the Meet-Me-Room (MMR). With our Carrier Neutral policy, DFT offers our customers multiple choices for their telecommunications services.
