Frequently Asked Questions

Why is North Sydney a premium colocation cluster?
North Sydney CBD hosts the headquarters of major Australian banks, insurers and financial services firms. Macquarie Data Centres' government-cleared facilities anchor the cluster. The combination of physical CBD presence + IRAP compliance commands premium pricing.
Who uses North Sydney colocation?
Financial services (banks, insurers, asset managers), Australian government departments, IRAP-cleared contractors and large enterprises that need physical North Sydney CBD residency for regulatory or operational reasons.
North Sydney vs Macquarie Park?
North Sydney CBD wins for premium positioning, IRAP-cleared facilities and financial services proximity. Macquarie Park (15 minutes north, NEXTDC S1/S2 cluster) wins for cost — typically 25-35% lower per cabinet — and tech ecosystem density.
What about IRAP and government compliance?
