S3 caters to the rising demand for data centres to manage and secure Australia’s critical digital infrastructure
NEXTDC's S3 data centre directly interconnects to the existing S1 and S2 Sydney data centres, in addition to the broader national digital infrastructure network.
NEXTDC’s S3 Sydney features more than 26,000m2 of data halls and ancillary infrastructure across nine levels, delivering more than 20,000m2 of critical IT space.
The structure is predominantly a ‘hybrid’ scheme using a combination of reinforced and post tensioned concrete and structural steel for lateral support due to its higher load capacities in dealing with heavy plant and equipment.
The first stage of NEXTDC S3 Sydney achieved the prestigious Tier IV Certification from the Uptime Institute.
