Ideal Customer
- DataBank's stated target is enterprises, technology developers, and content providers — with a particular sweet spot among mid-market to large enterprise organizations that have complex compliance requirements (healthcare, financial services, federal/government contractors) and cannot cost-effectively build or maintain their own data center infrastructure.
- Their managed services and compliance enablement offerings are especially valuable to companies with lean IT teams that need an outsourced partner to own the majority of compliance controls.
Key Differentiators
- DataBank positions itself as 'The Data Center Evolved™,' differentiating on three core pillars: edge scale (70+ HPC-ready data centers placing workloads within 100 miles of 60%+ of the U.S. population), compliance depth (owning up to 80% of a customer's compliance controls vs. ~10% at competitors, with FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST coverage), and its Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD), which won 'Data Center Solution of the Year' in the 2024 Data Breakthrough Awards and allows rapid, flexible deployment of everything from traditional enterprise IT to GPU-intensive AI workloads without retrofitting.
- DataBank has been recognized on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024, with 205.86% revenue growth), ranked on the Inc. 5000, named to Data Centre Magazine's Top 250 Data Center Companies 2026 (No. 41), earned Great Place To Work Certification (2026) with 95% employee satisfaction, and was named to the Fortune Best Medium Workplaces 2026 list (No. 48) and Fortune Best Workplaces in Technology 2026 (No. 14 in small/medium category).
Industries Served
- DataBank primarily serves enterprises, federal government agencies and contractors, healthcare organizations, financial services firms, technology/SaaS companies, media and content distribution companies, cloud infrastructure providers, and telecom networks.
- Their compliance infrastructure is specifically designed to support healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (PCI-DSS, GLBA), and federal/state government (FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, ITAR).
Service Coverage
- DataBank operates a nationwide U.S. footprint of 70+ data centers across 25–30 metro markets, with a presence in cities including Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Houston, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Boston, Miami, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Washington D.C., plus one facility near London, UK.
- The company positions its edge infrastructure to place workloads within 100 miles of more than 60% of the U.S. population.
Partnerships
- DataBank participates in a channel partner program open to agents, resellers, brokers, and MSPs, and has a formal relationship with TSD/master agent ACS Cloud Partners.
- They partnered with master agent TBI in 2020 for compliance enablement solutions distributed through TBI's channel.
Company Size & Ownership
- DataBank was founded in 2005 by Raul K. Martynek (who remains CEO) and is headquartered in the historic former Federal Reserve Bank Building in downtown Dallas, TX.
- Employee counts across sources range from approximately 900–1,000 as of 2025–2026, with LinkedIn reporting 501–1,000 and one source noting ~929 as of mid-2026; in 2026 the company introduced a broad-based employee ownership program giving all approximately 1,000 full-time employees an equity stake.
Compliance & Certifications
- DataBank holds an extensive and continuously recertified compliance portfolio including FedRAMP Moderate (with multiple agency ATOs), FISMA Moderate, CMMC, NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, PCI-DSS (including a Report on Compliance), HIPAA, GLBA, ISO/IEC 27001, CSA STAR Level 2, GDPR/EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, FIPS 140-2, and TX-RAMP.
- A notable differentiator is that DataBank's certified platforms and dedicated security engineering teams own up to 80% of a customer's compliance controls — compared to as little as 10% at other providers — covering physical, network, and system-level requirements.
