Who this is for
Own the asset, skip the ops
A business that has already bought its server or desktop and wants them professionally hosted and managed, without staffing a data-centre roster.
Migrating out of a server room
An organisation moving hardware out of an ageing on-prem room into a real facility with dual power, cooling, and carrier handoff — but keeping the capital asset on its own books.
Uptime-critical single sites
A workload on supported hardware where downtime is expensive.
Facility Specifications in Osborne Park, Perth
When you evaluate Perth colocation, the physical room matters just as much as the monthly rack rate. Green Racks operates a purpose-built, Australian-owned 10-rack edge data centre in Osborne Park, Perth WA 6017 — about 10 minutes north of the Perth CBD. Your servers stay in Western Australia under Australian jurisdiction, with sub-10ms round-trip latency across the Perth metro area and direct engineer support instead of an interstate call centre.
- Capacity & footprint: 10 full-depth 42U cabinets in a contained hot/cold aisle layout, available from a single 1U slot ($114.99/mo*) up to quarter racks ($574.99/mo*), half racks ($1,034.99/mo*) and dedicated full racks ($1,724.99/mo*).
- Redundant power: 2N UPS protection (150kVA total capacity) delivering conditioned power over independent dual A/B power feeds to every cabinet. Dual-PSU hardware is required so your equipment survives any single feed or PSU event.
- Precision cooling & fire protection: N+1 precision climate control maintains stable inlet temperatures and humidity year-round, paired with NOVEC 1230 clean-agent gas fire suppression that extinguishes fire without damaging server electronics.
- Network & carrier handoff: 10 GbE internal switching fabric with ADVA optical handoff, direct Telstra fibre termination via Commscope, and multi-homed transit. Full-rack colocation clients can bring their own IP ranges (BYOIP) and peer via BGP (subject to LOA).
- Physical security & access: Biometric access control at the entry point, 24/7 CCTV monitoring, locked cabinets, and 24/7 physical access for authorised contacts by arrangement, plus on-site smart hands at $75–110/hour*.

What is the difference between rack-space colocation and managed colocation?
With rack-space colocation, we provide the cabinet space, dual A/B power feeds, 2N UPS protection, N+1 cooling, NOVEC 1230 fire suppression and network handoff while your team runs the operating system. With managed colocation (from $200/month*), our engineers also look after OS patching, hardware monitoring, quarterly firmware updates, daily backups with 30-day retention, and up to 4 hours per month of remote hands.
What power and cooling redundancy does the facility have?
Every rack receives dual A/B power feeds backed by 2N UPS capacity (150kVA total), N+1 precision cooling in a contained aisle layout, and NOVEC 1230 clean-agent gas fire suppression so electronics are protected without water.
Can I bring my own IP addresses (BYOIP) and run BGP?
Yes. Full-rack colocation tenants can bring their own APNIC IP prefixes (BYOIP) and establish BGP sessions subject to a signed Letter of Authorisation (LOA), or use Green Racks IPv4 and IPv6 allocations on our multi-homed 10 GbE fabric with direct Telstra handoff.
Why choose a Perth colocation provider instead of Sydney or Melbourne?
Keeping your servers in Perth puts them close to your WA staff and customers. Our Osborne Park facility gives sub-10ms round-trip latency across the Perth metro area, compared with around 50ms to east-coast data centres, and your team can visit the rack in person. Rack-space colocation starts from $114.99/month* for 1U.
