First-Ever Data Center Pickleball Tournament a Resounding Success.

Marking a Milestone with Overwatch Capital and Vinco

Introduction

On June 26, we served up something the industry hadn't seen before — a pickleball tournament inside a data center. Thanks to you, it was an unforgettable celebration of power, play, and partnership. Hosted at Resilience DFW, the new high-density, AI-ready facility from Overwatch Capital, this grand opening event wasn't just a tour — it was a tournament.

Where Power Meets Play

The data hall was transformed into a full-blown pickleball court, surrounded by cutting-edge cooling systems, scalable power infrastructure, and a whole lot of laughs.

Between matches, guests toured the ±150,000 SF Tier III facility and got a firsthand look at what makes Resilience DFW a standout:

  • 90 MW total power capacity
  • Designed for high-density AI workloads (up to 135 kW/rack)
  • Advanced liquid & immersion cooling
  • ESG-forward with clean energy bridge power
  • Connectivity to Zayo, Crown Castle, and Fiber Light
  • Ultra-low latency to 1950 Stemmons & 2323 Bryan

It Takes a Village

This event reminded us just how powerful collaboration can be. Huge thanks to our partners at Overwatch Capital for co-hosting this industry-first experience, and to the incredible sponsors who helped bring it to life:

  • Mainspring Energy
  • Nautilus Data Technologies
  • Marathon Capital
  • Salute

We brought together colleagues, collaborators, and competitors from across the digital infrastructure space for an afternoon of networking, rallying, and raising a glass (or paddle) to what's next.

“From the court to the cooling systems, this was a team effort — and we’re so grateful for the support.”

More Capacity, More Possibility

We’re already looking ahead. Our next high-density campus, Resilience CMH in Columbus, is slated to bring up to 100 MW online by 2027, with the first 50 MW arriving in Q4 2026. Like DFW, it’s built for scale, sustainability, and serious workloads — with room for more pickleball when the time comes.
