Facility features
Designed to Tier 3+ standards, the data
centre has a typical availability rating of
99.98%. The facility is modular in design and
construction, complete with both primary
and redundant critical components and
distribution paths for power and air
conditioning services to IT equipment.
The initial availability of technical space is
3000m2. All major systems and
pathways are concurrently maintainable,
therefore critical UPS, diesel generator and
air conditioning support will still be
available to IT equipment while
maintenance is carried out on other
pathways and critical components.
The data suites are designed to meet
specific requirements with customised
solutions in size, power availability and
cooling. The Australian Data Centres model is carrier
and services neutral allowing flexibility for
business requirements. The data suites are
designed to a minimum of 1000 watts of
power (and cooling) per square metre.
Location
Australian Data Centres has designed a
highly sophisticated data centre in Mitchell, located 10kms from the
CBD and approximately 14kms from
Canberra International Airport. Strategic
placement has ensured it is not in an area
susceptible to natural disasters, such as
earthquakes and floods. It is distanced
from heavy industrial and potential threat
sites. The data centre is close to public
transport; it is accessible by regular bus
routes and major freeways.
Fibre
The data centre is adjacent to major fibre
routes and has access to all major carriers.
