Data Centers Built for Tomorrow

Australia is one of the global leaders in the data center industry. However, constructing a data center in Sydney while maintaining economies of scale presents significant challenges.

Macquarie Data Centres has implemented a one-off design and multiphase expansion strategy to enhance flexibility. While data center operators recognize the opportunities that come with expansion, they also encounter various challenges.

"Flexibility and scalability are fundamental to our design strategy when building state-of-the-art data centers. It's this approach that allows us to not only best support our hyperscale, multinational, and Australian Federal Government clients, but also to drive innovation in the industry."

Paul Christensen

General Manager, Macquarie Data Centres

"We tossed around different ideas, which were all worked through with Moxa. Moxa has supported the project from the conceptual stage through the production stage for getting it done."

Michael Dwyer

CEO, Summit Automation

Summary

Challenges

  • Interoperability Dilemma: Introducing advanced technologies between multiple systems within data center infrastructure can cause interoperability issues.

  • Seamless Provision: The data center was searching for a reliable partner that could address complex networking needs and provide a fully integrated system within a tight deadline. Their goal was to ensure a seamless implementation process for their clients, which included global hyperscalers and Australian Federal Government agencies.

Solutions

  • Advanced simulation shortens deployment time and reduces defects.

  • The design of this critical power data center automation involved a diverse technology mix. It included PRP/HSR for smart substation protection and RSTP Grouping, a proprietary networking technology that successfully addresses the interoperability challenge. This integration enables data centers to operate with greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Results

  • The partnership between Moxa, Summit Automation, and Macquarie Data Centres has helped to embrace data center growth and expansion, leading to outstanding success.

  • Today, Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus is a highly functional facility with data centers that support global hyperscalers, federal government agencies, and many Fortune 500 companies .
