CDC Data Centres: Hume Campus Two

Located at 7 Tralee Street, Hume ACT 2620, Canberra, Australia, Hume Campus Two is operated by CDC Data Centres, a leading sovereign data centre provider in Australia. 

With two built data centre buildings (H4 & H5), Campus Two delivers 51 MW of power capacity, supporting high-availability, large-scale deployments for enterprise, government, research, and cloud workloads. Its strategic position in Canberra gives proximity to federal and regulatory bodies, along with strong connectivity infrastructure and an ecosystem of digital infrastructure providers. This helps serve clients needing sovereign hosting, compliance, and low-latency connectivity.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Two buildings (H4 & H5) with combined capacity of 51 MW at Hume Campus Two. 
• H4 is built to a Tier IV specification, delivering high fault tolerance and uptime. 
• Project H4 was delivered via a Construction Management model; features include alternate wall systems that improved physical security and reduced construction time. 
• Designed for secure, sovereign, large-scale use, including HPC (high performance computing) workloads. For example, the Virga supercomputing cluster by CSIRO is hosted here, using hybrid direct liquid cooling. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• 24/7 onsite security, with robust physical perimeter protections and surveillance. (CDC’s campuses maintain continuous security presence.)
• The facility is constructed to meet high uptime standards; H4 is explicitly Tier-IV. 
• Supports government-level, sovereign hosting requirements. 
• While specific third-party certifications for Campus Two (H4/H5) are not all listed publicly, other CDC facilities in the region have certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral facility: multiple network providers (local, national) can connect. PeeringDB shows both HU4 & HU5 listed under “CDC Hume Campus 2” which indicates that networks and carriers are able to interconnect.
• Diverse fiber entry paths and interconnection to CDC’s network of campuses in Canberra & nationally. 
• The facility supports hyperscale cloud customers and research computing, which demand high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects. 

💼 Who It Serves

• Government & Defence: Sovereign hosting, compliance with national security, federal agencies. Canberra campus is particularly relevant here. 
• Enterprise & Regulated Industries: Financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure, where uptime, compliance, resilience are key. 
• Cloud & Hyperscale Operators: Need large power, large data load, modern cooling (e.g. liquid cooling) etc. 
• Research & HPC Workloads: Examples include the CSIRO Virga project.
