NEXTDC has appointed global contractor Multiplex to deliver stage one of its new data centre, P2 in East Perth.
P2 will be Western Australia’s first Uptime Institute Tier IV certified data centre, and will comprise 10,000 sqm of technical space and 20 MW of power.
Multiplex has delivered early works on the project, including the P2 microsite which is providing immediate connectivity to critical cloud services while the P2 facility is being constructed.
Stage one of the project includes the construction of six levels of data halls, two levels of electrical infrastructure and back-up power generation capable of delivering the power required to ensure 100% uptime, as well as the perimeter security, basement services, car parking and customer experience offices.
Tier IV certified constructed facilities are required to be designed and constructed in accordance with fault tolerance considerations as set by Uptime Institute.
Completion of stage one of P2 is targeted for completion mid-2020.
