CDC Data Centres: Fyshwick Campus

CDC Data Centres’ Fyshwick Campus is located at 11 Tom Price Street, Fyshwick, ACT 2609, Australia. As part of CDC’s Canberra campuses, it is positioned in Australia’s capital city, making it strategically significant for government, defense, and regulated-industry workloads. The campus benefits from its proximity to federal administrative hubs, robust utility infrastructure in the ACT, and connectivity options that support sovereign hosting and high-performance computing. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The Fyshwick Campus has a combined power capacity of 45 MW across its two main data centres. 
• At the building level, FY2 (11 Tom Price St) includes dual 20 MVA power feeds, backup generators, and an N+1 UPS configuration for critical systems. i
• The cooling infrastructure includes N+1 redundancy; FY2 uses both air and water-cooled chillers. 
• Efficiency is strong: for example, FY2 has a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of ~1.2.
• FY1 (another facility on the campus) supports ~20 MW of power capacity. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• The facility is staffed 24/7 with on-site security personnel. 
• Multiple layers of physical security: biometric access control, secure access cards/mantraps, and CCTV monitoring. 
• Compliance certifications include ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 for FY2. 
• It is designed to serve government and defense clients, which implies that it aligns with sovereign and regulated-industry security and compliance requirements. 

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The campus is carrier-neutral, allowing customers flexibility in selecting network providers. 
• Multiple diverse fiber entry points are available for redundancy and resilience. 
• FY2 integrates with Megaport’s software-defined networking (SDN) fabric, enabling connections to major public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, IBM) and to interconnected data centres globally. 
• The facility is part of CDC’s national footprint, so interconnections with other CDC campuses and network infrastructure across Australia are possible. 

💼 Who It Serves

• Government agencies and defense organisations given Canberra’s role and the facility’s compliance and sovereign capabilities. 
• Hyperscale cloud providers and large enterprise users needing significant power, redundancy, and connectivity. 
• Regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal, etc.) that require compliance (e.g. ISO, PCI DSS) and strong security. 
• Organisations implementing hybrid or multi-cloud architectures, needing low-latency, resilient connections to multiple cloud providers.
