NextDC opens data centre in Pilbara to service mining industry Featured
By Sam Varghese
ASX 100-listed technology firm and data centre-as-a-service provider NextDC will open its next centre in the Pilbara, the company says, adding that the new Tier III-certified outlet is named PH1 Port Hedland.
In a statement, NextDC said its latest Edge data centre would be located in Port Hedland and was being set up in partnership with BHP, Vocus and Microsoft.
NextDC chief commercial officer David Dzienciol said: “The Pilbara region is clearly a strategic market for us as we extend our capabilities alongside the mining and resources sector.
"Multi-faceted partnerships are increasingly driving the need for real-time insights, improved response times and better availability of data as key fundamentals in digital transformation across many industry sectors.
The company claimed its edge-based strategy enabled it to extend its technology ecosystem to the region through its partnership with Vocus.
PH1 Port Hedland will host Vocus’ "Project Horizon" fibre, a new 2000km fibre backbone through the Pilbara region providing mining and resource businesses with access to low-latency, high-capacity connectivity for mission critical operations.
Vocus chief executive Ellie Sweeney said PH1 represented "a critical facility in the ongoing network investment undertaken by Vocus in supporting Australia’s North-West, including its subsea Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable offering new and alternative routes between Perth, Port Hedland, Darwin and South-East Asia".
"Importantly, Vocus is very excited to be partnering with NextDC in connecting critical infrastructure with secure, high-speed access for the mining and resources sector, both in the PIlbara and across North-western Australia," Sweeney said.
Microsoft Australia and New Zealand director of Mining and Energy and director for WA, Malcolm De Silva, said: “Having the ability to make important business decisions with real-time data in remote areas like Port Hedland is vital for the resources sector.
“Importantly, PH1 Port Hedland combines security, safety and uptime resilience with low-latency connectivity, allowing Microsoft to extend its cloud applications and platforms to a number of mining operators across remote Australia.”
PH1 Port Hedland is the second geographically dispersed, new Edge data centre aimed at servicing regional businesses and networks across Australia.
The new centre has a total planned capacity of 1.5MW.
