B1 is Queensland’s most fibre-connected commercial data centre. Over 80% of B1’s construction is solid concrete, providing extra security and fire protection, while the elevated Wharf St location means B1 was well above the peak levels of the 2011 and 1974 floods.

With 700 racks, NEXTDC B1 is designed in accordance with the Telecommunications Industry Association’s (TIA) 942 standard (Tier III). B1 offers advanced CRAC technology, has an air-cooled chiller with free cooling technology reducing water consumption and a technical space of approximately 1,650 m2 and rooftop plant. Even the external walls are clad with aluminium composite sheeting to reduce heat transmission.
