DATA centre owner operator DC Alliance has acquired Pier DC in Perth, its first investment into Australia.
Located at Canning Vale in Perth, Pier DC is the only Uptime Institute Tier III certified colocation facility south of the Perth CBD. Pier DC has a technical area of 2,200 sqm with power capacity of up to 8MW.
General manager and executive director Albert Wong said it is a strategic decision due to Perth’s new high speed, high capacity undersea data cables that link it to Asia, reducing data latency significantly and facilitating greater interconnectivity among countries in Asia Pacific.
“This is a significant milestone for us and is proof that Western Australia is fast catching up as a digital interface between Australia and the rest of Asia. We are here to secure the future of Pier DC while at the same time to build our capacity in order to meet demand, which we project to be substantial in the years ahead.
“DC Alliance is committed to contribute to Western Australia’s economy by investing in Pier DC, modernising its facilities to fully maximise its potential. The investments will go towards increasing the capacity of the data centre as well as to provide amenities like Business Continuity (BC) space, which is highly relevant in today’s uncertain environment,” Wong said.
