PH1 Port Hedland Data Centre

Port Hedland is a major port in Western Australia that supports mining operations for a variety of resources, including iron ore, salt, lithium, copper, and manganese. It is one of the world's largest iron ore loading ports, and 98% of the port's tonnage is iron ore. Major mining companies that export iron ore through the port include BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue, and Roy Hill.

Port Hedland (PH1) is NEXTDC’s new data centre in the Pilbara region. The facility is specifically designed to support Edge based operations, including the data-intensive needs of industries such as telecommunications and mining. With specialised location-specific submarine cable landing stations, 5G Network coverage, and satellite connectivity, PH1 is ready to empower your business by enabling technology innovation such as real-time data processing at the Edge.

An Edge Data centre is a decentralised facility located closer to end-users, enabling faster and more reliable access to data and applications. Benefits include faster application performance, reduced latency, improved user experience, enhanced security, and compliance with data privacy regulations.

Edge Data centres are smaller, more agile, and designed to handle large volumes of data traffic with lower latency than traditional data centres. Organisations should consider using them to improve application performance, reduce network congestion, enhance security, and comply with data privacy regulations.

NEXTDC offers a range of services at its Edge Data centres, including colocation, cloud computing, managed hosting, data storage, and network connectivity. Specialised services include IoT, content delivery, and real-time analytics.

NEXTDC's Edge Data centres are strategically located closer to end-users, reducing latency and improving application performance. They are also designed with high-speed fiber links and redundant connectivity to ensure fast, reliable, and secure access to data and applications.

Factors to consider when choosing an Edge Data centre provider include proximity to end-users, network connectivity, power and cooling infrastructure, security and compliance, and service level agreements (SLAs). NEXTDC is the best choice due to its expertise in network engineering, industry-leading SLAs, and commitment to delivering innovative, reliable, and secure data centre solutions and it come with a 100% uptime guarantee.
