A1 Adelaide Data Centre Specifications
Power your critical operations with confidence. NEXTDC’s A1 Adelaide data centre is South Australia’s first Uptime Institute Tier IV-certified (Design and Construction) data centre. This means it is completely fault tolerant with N+1 redundancy for all critical plant and equipment supporting power and cooling availability. For the first time in a major metropolitan DC, we are using static (battery) UPS supported by MTU (Rolls Royce) engines.
With 24-hour on-site fuel storage and 100% backup of the entire site load, including mechanical systems, you'll never have to worry about downtime. Our energy-efficient data centres are designed for reliable, high-density operations. With NEXTDC and A1, you’ll have peace-of-mind and never have to worry about downtime again.
- IT load target capacity of 5MW.
- Distributed redundant N+1 2MW static UPS (battery) supported by MTU (Rolls Royce) generator engines, supporting the entire site load
- 48 hours of fuel stored on-site
- 100% UPS backup of entire site including mechanical systems for continuous cooling
At NEXTDC, we know that your business depends on the reliability and energy efficiency of your data centre. As IT workloads and processors become more dense, keeping your environment cool becomes more challenging and uses increased amounts of power. That's where our industry-benchmark PUE performance delivers cost saving and ESG performance benefits.
At A1 we leverage cutting-edge hot aisle containment with ceiling plenum hot return space, Vertiv in-direct, free cooling, CRAC units paired with modular cooling tower infrastructure, and N+1 independent cooling systems tuned in real-time by our experienced team. Our fully modular cooling infrastructure includes N+2 CRAC units per data hall for ultimate redundancy so you can trust NEXTDC to keep your critical IT systems running smoothly.
- Direct and indirect free air-cooling economisation to minimise energy, carbon and water usage (Adelaide’s most sustainable data centre).
- Hot aisle containment, ceiling plenum hot return space for energy efficiency and reliability.
- N+1 independent cooling systems, providing high levels of reliability and industry leading PUE of 1.25 (yearly average target) or 1.15 to 1.2 (yearly lowest) dependent on customer allowable air temperatures and ambient conditions.
- 24 hours of water stored on-site (minimum).
