Montgomery Westland Bunker
Montgomery Westland is owned by Pudge Properties. Since acquiring the property in April 2007 the partners have invested over $30M in campus improvements. The partnership has committed to develop the campus into one of the largest Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Centers in the US.
The Montgomery Westland facility sits on 50 acres in Montgomery Texas. The property is secured by 24 hour guard, completely fenced, with total camera surveillance and biometric-card key access. It is located approximately 40 minutes from Houston, 100 miles from the gulf coast. An onsite helicopter pad is provided for emergency access when required. The Montgomery Westland campus is 300 feet above sea level. It is a comprehensive data campus that offers business continuity solutions and data storage in an optimal secure environment. The data campus consist of an existing 100,000 square foot office building for Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity and a 38,000 square feet of secure underground data storage space in our bunker. The bunker space can be scaled for collocation by the unit, cabinets, caged suite or customized private suite. We offer Tier 11 and Tier 111 storage solutions.
Power to the facility is fed by two diverse routes. Power distribution is supplied via two 4000a/480V switchboard, six generator sets provide a total capacity of 4600KW, and UPS power is supplied via (6) 500kva modules. There are four underground fuel tanks with a storage capacity of 50,000 gallons. Bunker space is provided with a minimum of N+1 cooling utilizing Liebert down draft units with humidification, reheat, and moisture detection. Temperature, humidity, and alarm conditions are monitored electronically 24/7.
The master plan for Montgomery Westland includes a four phase expansion in office buildings for business continuity/disaster recovery and an additional 100,000 square feet in new bunker space for secure data storage. Connectivity to the complex is offered via diverse fiber routes at Gig E speeds from various carriers. Montgomery Westland is a carrier neutral facility and can offer DS1, OC-12 or Ethernet VLAN from our Houston POPS’s. As part of our Cisco IP telephone system can support redirects of your original office numbers regardless of your location in Texas. Additional cities around the US are available on a per request basis.
The Bunker has one of the most interesting histories of any data center you know. Originally constructed in 1982 by Louis Kung (Nephew of Madam Chang Kai Shek), the campus was his residence and headquarters for his oil company. Originally shrouded in secrecy and armed guards most local residents were unaware that he built a 40,000 square foot nuclear fallout shelter next to the office building. The shelter was built to house his family, employees, and their families in the event of a nuclear war (which he was thoroughly convinced would happen).
The office building was built with some of the same construction techniques as the bunker. Once you visit the campus this is very evident starting at the bullet proof glass on the first floor and reception area. This 5 layer laminated glass encompasses almost the entire first floor.
