Perth , Melbourne , Canberra , and Sydney facilities ( e . g . adding an extra 1MW in Sydney ) while building three brand new data centres in national partnership with the awardwinning FDC construction and fitout company . S2 will be NEXTDC ’ s second data centre in Sydney , and will be operational during 2018 . With an ultimate capacity of 30MW and around 8,000m2 of client space , it will be the biggest facility in the company ’ s nationwide network . Brisbane will see a new data centre in mid-2017 , scaling up to 6MW , and in Melbourne a site of at least 25MW of capacity is also well along in its construction phase .

The sites are carefully positioned so that they ’ re well served in terms of transport and the essential utilities of water , power and telecommunications .
