Dallas Is Live: ISP Proxies and EPYC Servers at Equinix DA6

TL;DR

HypeProxies' Dallas point of presence (POP) is now live at Equinix DA6, a major peering facility in the Dallas metro. It runs the same hardware as our Ashburn deployment, on a separate network.

• Sub-millisecond latency to Walmart and Target, measured from inside the Dallas POP on launch day.

• AMD EPYC (7000 series) CPUs on our VMs, NVMe Gen 4 SSDs, 10 Gbps per server.

• /24 BGP-announced ISP subnets, on a fresh, clean network footprint, separate from Ashburn.

• ISP proxies and servers share the same cabinet in Dallas, so there's no latency between your automation and your IPs when both run there.

Why Dallas

For the last 7 years, almost all of our infrastructure has operated from Ashburn, Virginia. Ashburn is the densest internet exchange region in the country. For the workloads that our customers run (scraping, price intelligence, automation, AI data pipelines), few locations perform better.

But we kept hearing the same question: "Do you have anything outside of Ashburn?"

Now we do. We open new regions only when the workload data says we have to. For Dallas, that data pointed to 2 reasons:

1. Customer geography. Walmart, Target, and other US retailers route significant traffic through the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, in a state that now leads the US in data center capacity, ahead of Virginia. Until now, our customers reached them from Ashburn. Dallas shortens the path. It also means your IP is physically Texas-based, not just fast to Texas. That matters when a check depends on appearing to be a Central US user rather than just reaching one quickly: regional pricing, geo-restricted content, local ad or SEO verification.

2. Redundancy. If Ashburn ever has a problem (a carrier issue, a weather event, an exchange-level disruption), Dallas keeps traffic moving for any customer running infrastructure in both regions.

What's deployed in Dallas

Every deployment inside Equinix DA6 includes:

• AMD EPYC (7000 series) CPUs on our VMs: high core counts for parallel workloads like headless browsers, scrapers, and AI agents running at scale

• NVMe Gen 4 SSDs: low-latency storage for IOPS-heavy workloads

• 10 Gbps per server: room to scale higher at the facility level

• Virtual Machines (VMs) or dedicated Baremetal: deploy either, depending on the workload

• /24 BGP-announced ISP subnets: a fresh, clean network footprint, separate from our Ashburn range

• ISP proxies and servers share the same cabinet: no latency between your automation and your IPs when both run in Dallas

Network diversity matters for anyone running large-scale data collection across multiple regions. Most proxy providers default to a single US region, which means a lot of scraping traffic looks similar at the network layer. If your existing workload is heavy in Ashburn, Dallas gives you that diversity without changing providers. A newly opened pool also carries the least usage history it will ever have. Fewer prior requests means less chance any of those IPs have already been flagged or rate-limited somewhere, and that history only grows with time.

Why proxies and servers belong in the same cabinet

Few providers sell both proxies and dedicated compute. We sell both, and they share the same cabinet in Dallas, same as in Ashburn. If you run both there, there's no latency between your proxy and your server. This is the same infrastructure model behind everything we run: proxies, VMs, and Baremetal, all built and operated in-house rather than resold.

Practically, this means:

• Traffic between your application and the proxy egress is intra-cabinet, not cross-internet.

• One bill, one support contact, one architecture for both halves of the workload.

For high-volume scraping teams and serious automation operations, this removes the middle-mile latency hop and cuts real operational complexity. Linkscopic, one of our customers, sustains 30M records an hour pulling real-time pricing from Walmart, Target, and Amazon, on the same proxy-and-server setup we've now brought to Dallas.

How fast Dallas is

We measured latency from inside the Dallas POP on launch day. Walmart and Target both came back sub-millisecond; Google, as a general internet baseline, didn't.

If you run your bot or scraper on a co-located server, those numbers are close to your effective round-trip. Connecting from outside adds whatever your own server-to-Dallas leg costs.

For workloads where the clock matters (inventory checks, real-time price changes, competitive monitoring, AI agents acting in a loop), latency to the target retailer is often the deciding factor. In high-volume scraping pipelines, it drives throughput and unit cost per record. For AI agents that chain many actions, it compounds at every step.

Dallas or Ashburn: which to choose

Which region to use depends on where your targets sit:

If you're not sure which region fits your workload, the simplest answer is to test both. You can spot-check speed and network details on any proxy with our free proxy checker, no signup required, then start with the smallest plan you can cancel.

What's next

Dallas is the next step in our 2026 expansion, with more regions to come. The same pattern (our own hardware, our own BGP-announced subnets, carrier diversity in every region) is the model behind every region we build.

FAQ

Should I use Dallas or Ashburn?

Use Dallas for Walmart, Target, and other regional US retailers. For general scraping and data collection, either region works, since network quality matters more than geography. Ashburn is the safer default if your targets are East Coast-heavy. For multi-region workloads at scale, run both for network diversity and redundancy.

Is Dallas priced the same as Ashburn?

Yes. Dallas uses the same per-IP pricing as Ashburn. Pick Dallas as the location when you order.

Can proxies and servers share a Dallas cabinet?

Yes, and it's automatic. As in Ashburn, your ISP proxies and dedicated servers share the same Dallas cabinet whenever both are there. Traffic between your application and the proxy egress stays intra-cabinet instead of crossing the public internet.

How fast is the Dallas POP to Walmart and Target?

Measured from inside the POP on launch day, both came back sub-millisecond. Those figures are for a co-located server; add your own connection leg if you connect from outside.
