Frequently Asked Questions

Why is colocation in Sydney so constrained?
Sydney has 65%+ of Australia's planned data centre capacity but power and grid constraints have limited expansion. AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle all anchor here, driving structural demand. The result: tight supply, premium pricing, and waitlists for AI-density deployments.
Who are the major Sydney colocation operators?
AirTrunk leads with the largest facility in Australia (130 MW). NEXTDC operates S1-S5, CDC Data Centres has government-cleared facilities, Equinix has six Sydney IBX sites, plus Macquarie Data Centres in North Sydney CBD.
Is Sydney good for AI workloads?
Yes — AirTrunk SYD1 and CDC Eastern Creek campuses support liquid cooling and 50-100 kW per rack densities. Power constraints push most large GPU deployments to Western Sydney where land and grid capacity are more available.
Sydney vs Melbourne for primary?
Sydney wins for cloud-region anchoring, financial services proximity and submarine cable density. Melbourne is the secondary Australian market — lower cost, less interconnection density. Most enterprises run Sydney as primary, Melbourne as DR.
