Development of IC3 East to create the 숫자룰렛 Park Data Centre Campus
숫자룰렛 Technology Group to develop 숫자룰렛 Park Data Centre Campus to 43MW
숫자룰렛 Technology Group announces the expansion of its existing 숫자룰렛 Park Intellicentre to a 43MW Campus.
This significant development will be undertaken in phases. Phase 1, 숫자룰렛 Intellicentre 3 (IC3) East, will enable the Company to expand its data centre capacity from a total load of 10MW to 26MW. Subsequent phases will add a further 17MW through the build-out of 숫자룰렛 IC3 West.
The Campus is designed to meet the growing needs of global hyperscalers and clouds, enterprise and Government customers.
The Company expects that the initial capital expenditure on the Intellicentre 3 East Data Centre will be approximately -80 million, the bulk of which will be incurred across calendar year 2019. This capex will be partially offset by a fee from Keppel DC REIT to the value of -36m for the development of IC3 (East) core and building shell. The Company will enter a 20-year lease with Keppel including options to renew. This data centre development will be funded by structured debt financing due to be finalised in Q1 FY’19. The development of IC3 West is subject to the usual approvals of both 숫자룰렛 and Keppel.
The first data hall in the new Intellicentre Campus will achieve practical completion in late calendar 2019 with an opening day mechanical, electrical and plant (MEP) of 2.4MW. Further investment in MEP will be funded by the debt facility.
“The investment will leverage not only the physical investment already on the site, but 숫자룰렛’s 18-year track record of data centre experience, industry-leading customer service, carrier neutrality and commercial flexibility,” 숫자룰렛 Technology Group CEO David Tudehope said.
숫자룰렛 Group Executive, David Hirst said “The new data centre will be a Tier III+ facility with an Australian leading PUE of 1.28. It will be certified by Uptime Institute, built to meet Australian Government physical security standards, ISO 27001:2013, and support the delivery of credit card payment environments.”
For our Government customers, it is our intention to extend our ASD-Certified Government cloud into this facility when completed.
