NEXTDC

The Data Centre Axis directory records selected NEXTDC facilities across Australian metropolitan markets, including NEXTDC S1 Sydney, S2 Sydney, S3 Sydney and S4 Sydney; NEXTDC M1 Melbourne, M2 Melbourne and M3 Melbourne; NEXTDC B1 Brisbane and B2 Brisbane; NEXTDC P1 Perth and P2 Perth; NEXTDC C1 Canberra; and NEXTDC A1 Adelaide. These entries reflect directory reference records rather than verified capacity status, operational readiness or performance guarantees. Prospective occupiers and investors evaluating colocation or wholesale capacity across these markets must conduct independent technical and commercial due diligence against their specific workload criteria.

Technical due diligence checks

• Contracted IT load and energisation schedules: Buyers should verify the exact boundary between gross site power and allocated IT load, together with substation connection schedules. Confirm whether requested MW increments are delivered from existing energised infrastructure or require utility upgrades that could affect deployment schedules.
• Structural capacity and spatial planning: Technical diligence should assess slab load-bearing capacities in kilonewtons per square metre, slab-to-ceiling clear heights, and freight access dimensions. Ensure the physical shell accommodates planned rack weights, containment systems and specialised high-density hardware.
• Thermal management and rack density thresholds: Evaluate cooling distribution topologies, peak ambient design limits, and the operational boundaries for variable rack densities. Buyers with accelerated compute workloads should determine mechanical support for direct-to-chip liquid cooling or rear-door heat exchangers.
• Carrier presence and meet-me room diversity: Diligence must inspect physical pathway separation for dual telecommunications entries, duct availability, and carrier diversity within meet-me rooms. Clarify cross-connect installation delivery intervals and operational demarcation boundaries.
