M3 Melbourne data centre details

NEXTDC already has two data centres in Melbourne located in Port Melbourne (M1) and Tullamarine (M2); this new AU$1.2 billion data centre (M3) will be the third on this list. The company has stated that the development of a third and large-scale data centre was essential to address the increased demand for data storage across the globe.

According to the company’s website, M3 Melbourne is located in West Footscray, which is 10 km west of the Melbourne CBD. West Footscray is Melbourne’s designated business district and is only 10 km from Melbourne CBD. This places M3 Melbourne in a close proximity to major electricity substations and other public, telecommunications, and utility infrastructure.

What are NEXTDC’s expectations from M3 Melbourne?

Through the M3 Melbourne data centre, NEXTDC anticipates that its enterprise and government customers will be able to grow their crucial infrastructure platforms. This 150 MW data centre will also establish a new availability zone for data storage solutions in the Melbourne market.
The company expects M3 Melbourne to create a critical operations hub where NEXTDC’s customers can place and manage their mission-critical offices and operation centres as well as their collaborative spaces.
