Macquarie Data Centres, part of Macquarie Technology Group has completed major upgrades to its Data Centre Campuses in Sydney and Canberra.
The multi-million-dollar project includes the addition of two further ultra-secure zones to their Sydney and Canberra campuses plus significant power upgrades.
The zones have been added to the fully sovereign provider’s data centres and meet the requirements of the highest levels of the Australian Federal Government’s Protective Security Policy Framework.
The upgrades also increased rack capacity and expanded other secure zones in their campuses across Sydney and Canberra, all of which are ready for occupancy.
“These upgrades give our local and international customers the capacity they need to scale their businesses and expand their Australian footprint,” said David Hirst, Group Executive, Macquarie Data Centres.
Current data centre customers include 42 per cent of Commonwealth Government, the world’s biggest hyperscalers and large multinationals.
“Capacity planning is one of the key issues organisations face when making data centre investments – whether they’ll have sufficient runway to scale for the data demands that will impact them over time,” said Hirst. “They need expert colocation partners that understand not just capacity, but the related security, compliance, and sovereignty considerations. This investment is a testament to our ability to be that trusted partner.”
“Anyone who works in the data centre industry will know the level of planning, expertise and collaboration needed to undertake a project of this magnitude,” said Gavin Kawalsky, Head of Projects, Macquarie Data Centres. “The project’s success is down to our team’s tireless work, expertise and experience.”
The upgrades to Macquarie’s Data Centre Campus located in the Sydney North zone come ahead of the construction of its largest data centre, IC3 Super West.
They also follow Macquarie’s parent recent name change to Macquarie Technology Group.
