Golden Frog announced the addition of its newest VyprVPN server cluster inside Data Foundry's Texas 1 data center in Austin, TX. VyprVPN is a Personal VPN service that provides a secure and private Internet connection for users throughout the world. Golden Frog selected Data Foundry's Texas 1 data center because it provides a unique ecosystem for cloud services due to its high-density capabilities, 17 network carriers, and safe location in the Central United States.

This announcement marks Golden Frog's second major project implementation in the past six months within Texas 1. Golden Frog also recently selected Data Foundry to house its secure online storage product, Dump Truck.

"Golden Frog offers its customers the fastest VPN speeds in the world. Their growing user base has come to expect a premium VPN service with their VyprVPN product," says Edward Henigin, CTO at Data Foundry. "We designed Texas 1 with a similar purpose: to offer the absolute best protection, efficiency and reliability for our customers' valuable assets. That mutual interest makes the two companies an excellent fit. Texas 1 is designed specifically to house this type of cloud service customer -- one with high density deployments and mission-critical systems."

Data Foundry's Texas 1 is a new 250,000 square foot, carrier-neutral data center powered by dual, independent 400 MW substations and outfitted with a dedicated, end-to-end, concrete reinforced underground feed from the substation to the data center. This purpose-built facility was constructed on the 40-acre, master-planned Data Ranch development site, offering enterprises, cloud-based providers, and service providers the opportunity for future scalability of their infrastructure.
