Work was well underway, according to Aidan Tudehope, Macquarie Telecom managing director for Hosting.

"Engineered with a focus on sustainability, security and full N+1 redundancy for all elements, including power, water and data, this datacentre marks a significant step forward in continuing to provide our customers with the best possible enterprise-grade data hosting and cloud services," he said.

"Intellicentre 2 ... will alleviate any security, compliance, data residency and low latency concerns customers have about cloud services — particularly in today's climate, which is dominated by a growing number of security scares, locally and overseas," Tudehope said.
