NextDC announced plans to open a 300MW data centre site in Western Sydney.
For comparison, the data centre operator’s current Sydney data centres have a combined IT load capacity of 126MW with its S1 at 16MW, S2 at 30MW and S3 (still under development) at 80MW.
The company said in a statement that the new site will provide data centre services to hyperscale cloud providers in a new ‘Availability Zone’ within the Sydney market, and will also play a role in enabling enterprise and government customers to scale their critical infrastructure platforms in the region.
S4 will be located in Horsley park, 42 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD on a 124,000sqm site.
