About us
Westgate Data Center is a secure data storage facility in Amarillo, Texas.
Westgate Data Center came about because of a need for regional data and cloud services for businesses in the Texas Panhandle. In 2018, Tim Monaghan, owner of Westgate Computers began the process of taking an idea and turning it into something real. The land was purchased, plans were drawn and construction began. During construction, we assembled a team of some of the area’s leading people in their fields; networking, cybersecurity, systems, sales, and infrastructure. This team is the foundation of Westgate Data Center, bringing over 100 years of combined experience.
Just as important as a top-notch team, is industry-leading hardware and software to support our data center. Palo Alto Networks, Liebert cooling and power, Dell EMC servers, VMWare Cloud Foundation, and Cummins power generation are just some of the vendors that are in use. Below-ground installation of these ensures a continuously operational facility, resistant to disasters, both natural and man-made.

I began my technology career in 1997 building computers for a local computer company. As the company grew, I ascended to the position of VP of Marketing, attending trade shows throughout the country and abroad, and helping grow the brand of systems to become globally recognized for their advanced processing power and affordability. I took a position with Westgate Computers in 1999 as the General Manager, overseeing operations and as the lead salesperson. Upon the formation of Westgate Data Center, I assumed the role of head of sales and assist in the management of the company. I am married, have 2 sons, and in my free time, I enjoy hiking, golfing, and spending time with my family at the lake.
