Macquarie Telecom Group announces new Canberra government data centre

Macquarie Telecom Group Limited (ASX: MAQ) today announced the build of a new data centre, Intellicentre 5 Bunker (IC5 Bunker), at its Canberra campus in response to increased demand for Macquarie Government’s cloud and cyber security services.

With construction due to commence in July, the initial investment of AU$17 million will be used to build stage one – 1.5 megawatts (MW) – by December 2020. Once completed, the full Canberra campus comprising IC4 Bunker and IC5 Bunker will be 4MW, with additional expansion capacity.

The new facility will leverage the latest physical and virtual security and compliance credentials to manage Government cloud workloads at the protected, secret and above levels. These will include a design to achieve Tier IV data centre standards, being SCEC Zone 5 ready, and retaining 120 plus NV1 government-cleared engineers. It will also have an industry leading PUE to maximise efficiency.

ANZ has approved an increase in Macquarie’s syndicated banking facility from $100m to $140 million to fund investment in IC5 Bunker construction, cyber security services as well as the build of IC3 East.
