Appointed by CITEC, a division of the Queensland Government’s Department of Housing and Public Works, this arrangement will provide Queensland Government agencies a mechanism to consume DCaaS solutions in line with the Queensland Government ICT strategy. Empowering departments to purchase data centre services on-demand will enable the Queensland Government to adopt greater flexibility and agility, helping them to reduce capital expenditure and allowing them to focus on delivering the critical priorities and projects they set out to achieve.

Chief Executive Officer Craig Scroggie said “NEXTDC’s appointment to the supplier panel for data centre services is an important step forward for the Queensland Government.

NEXTDC is a Queensland born business that is headquartered in Brisbane, with a current network of nine data centres nationally, targeting a total capacity of 300MW, delivered to businesses Australia-wide. Mr Scroggie continued “We’re delighted to be formally working with the Queensland Government, we share the same values in our passion for innovation, using technology to advance business and doing it responsibly and ethically in support of driving new opportunities and a better future, filled with greater resources for generations to come”.
