Australian Data Centres acquires data centre campus in Canberra

Australian Data Centres (ADC) has acquired a new data centre campus in Canberra as it works to expand its footprint across Australia.

ADC CEO Mark Pont said the acquisition in Fyshwick was a significant milestone in ADC’s national expansion strategy.

“It strengthens our ability to meet increasing demand for secure, high-availability facilities that underpin government and enterprise digital services," he said.

"The new site has been fully integrated into our existing operations, has been Certified Strategic under the Hosting Certification Framework and provides additional optionality and redundancy.

ADC executive chairman Rob Kelly added that the acquisition was a marker of ADC’s growth ambitions.

“A lot of work is going on behind the scenes to enable ADC to offer a new scale of flexible co-location and build-to-suit sovereign data storage solutions tailored to our customers’ long-term requirements," he said.

“With a highly experienced management team in place, we are tightly focused on opportunities to scale sovereign data centres and AI factory footprints to meet the needs of customers and Australia’s national capability."
