Who this is for
Perth-local replication target
A Sydney-headquartered firm needs a secondary site in WA to meet RPO targets and to keep replicated data under Australian jurisdiction. We host the replica racks; their primary stays where it is.
Mining-sector telemetry
A contractor in the mining supply chain collects field telemetry from sites across the Pilbara. A Perth-local rack with carrier handoff lands that data inside WA instead of routing it through Sydney.
Cloud-out backup site
An east-coast cloud-first business wants a real-hardware backup site outside their primary cloud region. Bring two rack-mounted hosts, we provide the cabinet and connectivity.
Frequently asked questions
Where is your Perth colocation data centre?
Our facility is in Osborne Park, Western Australia, roughly 6 km north-west of the Perth CBD. Hardware lives on-site behind badge access, with carrier handoff to Telstra inside the building.
What are your rack unit prices?
Pricing depends on the total U count, power draw, and bandwidth commit. As a guide, 1U colocation starts around $99/month and a quarter rack with 10A AC starts around $499/month. Get a written quote for your exact requirements.
Do you offer cross-connects to other carriers?
Yes. Our standard carrier handoff is Telstra via Commscope termination inside the facility. Cross-connects to other carriers on-site can be arranged on request — quoted as a one-off install plus a small monthly recurring fee.
What power and cooling does the facility provide?
Dual power feeds per rack with battery-backed UPS and diesel generator failover. The room is climate-controlled with hot/cold aisle separation and PDU-level power monitoring so you can see your own draw.
Can I access my hardware 24/7?
Yes. Authorised contacts get scheduled physical access; same-day visits are usually possible during AWST business hours. Remote eyes and basic hands-on tasks (cable swap, power-cycle, KVM session) are included under our smart-hands service.
How is colocation different from managed hosting?
Colocation means you bring the hardware and we provide the facility, power, network, and physical support — you keep operational control of the operating system and applications. Managed hosting means we provide both the hardware and the operational layer, so it is closer to a turn-key product.
