Ok, so in my last post I stated that we (Servers Australia Pty Ltd) are building a Data Centre shortly.

This is a very big step for us as a wholesale provider and will allow us to offer affordable, reliable and cheap co-location space to our new and existing customers.

We will be building the facility to high standards and will be using proper Data Centre equipment such as:

- N+1 CRAC cooling systems
- N+1 Power system
- 300mm raised flooring, capable of holding 1800kg / square metre

The first stage of the facility will house approx 150 racks with stage 2 housing a further 150-200 racks, we are anticipating to have stage 1 open by June 30th and I will start posting photos and updates on here daily when the construction actually starts!

So far we have ordered all the needed parts / components for the Data Centre and most of it has arrived, the images below show the racks being loaded from the manufacturer onto a truck to be sent to us and the raised flooring in a container that was shipped to us (there is over 300m2 of flooring in stage 1)

The next images will be of the start of construction, and the connection of the redundant Gigabit Fibre links!
