Delivering critical digital capability to South Australia’s hi-tech ecosystem

NEXTDC will expand its digital infrastructure platform with the development of a new premium grade data centre facility (A1) and Mission Critical Operations centre in the Adelaide CBD.

A1 will be South Australia’s first completely fault tolerant, Uptime Institute Tier IV certified data centre facility. Located at 211 Pirie Street, A1 will deliver 5MW of critical power and cloud interconnection capability, as well as mission critical operational space (MCX), providing highly reliable and customisable spaces that are designed to house essential personnel and support business continuity.

In partnership with the South Australian Government, our investment into Adelaide will play a critical role in supporting the growing needs of South Australia’s digital economy. The A1 technology hub will inject significant technological capability into South Australia’s world-class hi-tech ecosystem. A1 will also introduce a sovereign capability to the state that is critical to the future of the defence and hi-tech industries.

A1 will be the first of its kind for South Australia. Delivering well beyond its capability as a world class data centre facility, A1 will bring with it global best practice for cloud and digital services access, security, resilience and sustainable operations. Furthermore, the development will invite opportunities for collaboration with the state’s universities, developing a pipeline of skilled workers for the future.
