The AI Ready Checklist is designed to support and complement your existing evaluation frameworks as you assess data centre partners and infrastructure readiness for AI and cloud expansion into the Australian market.
Whether you're a global hyperscaler or an emerging Neo Cloud provider, this guide helps validate that your deployment environment is built to support high-performance AI workloads, meets critical compliance and sovereignty requirements, and aligns with your long-term growth strategy.
