Infraserve

Our Data Centre

The InfraServe Data Centre is 100% Australian owned, managed and operated. We own the land, the buildings, and the entire site on which the facility is located!

A Revolutionary Data Centre Facility.

The facility is unique! It is truly modular and the first HP POD Data Centre to be deployed in Asia Pacific. It's a modern, new economy data centre that is a technology milestone and marks a very significant shift in the way IT services will be deployed into the future.

The InfraServe Data Centre is not a traditional brick and mortar data centre, which can take up to 2 years to design and build, cannot scale up quickly, is expensive to run and has massive power and cooling requirements that make the service inflexible and expensive.

The InfraServe Data Centre, using the HP POD technology, is a containerised data centre and that means it is totally modular. It takes only 12 weeks to deploy, as opposed to two years. It is totally agile and scalable meaning, we can commission more PODs quickly, as the demand grows for our IaaS services and it operates in its own microclimate, so they can be deployed anywhere if required. While the POD is a containerized solution it is housed in a fully secure concrete building with full biometric security

Whilst the Infraserve Data Centre is a unique facility for this region the POD technology has been adopted by the likes of Google and Microsoft to deploy their new age data centres.

Key Features

The Infraserve DC is specifically designed to offer the following benefits to customers:

  • High density computing, reducing the customers overall IT footprint
  • Enterprise grade storage, backup and off-site backup
  • Energy efficiency, offering up to 60% reduced power usage over traditional data centres
  • High speed network architecture, enabling customers to expand to 10Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb network throughput, as technology improves
  • Multipath fibre MPLS data links cross linked to diverse Telstra and Optus exchanges with low latency guarantees between all major cities for Internet or WAN data
  • QoS (Quality of Service) standards for messaging, data, voice, video and convergence
  • Latest BMS (Building Management System) applications for continual Data Centre monitoring and management
  • Comprehensive monitoring and reports on service performance, uptime and power usage provided
  • Transitional Co-location rack space in a totally separate area
  • POP (Point of Presence) rooms in Sydney and Central Coast enabling access for telecommunications carriers to the Data Centre Edge
  • N+1 and Disaster Recovery Options
  • A Low PUE ratio of only 1.25

Complete Security - Peace of Mind

Our PODs are housed in highly secure facilities with multiple physical security layers. The facility itself is kept under round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance, and protected by two factor authentication using PIN code and biometric scanning protocols.

Access to the Data Centre and the PODs is only available to authorised personnel. Since we don't offer traditional co-location, there is no public access to our PODs. This is restricted to the Infraserve Operations team only ensuring very high physical security to our Partners and their customers systems.

All our personnel undergo multiple, thorough background and police security checks before being employed.

Each HP POD is equipped with an advanced VESDA (Very Early Suppression Detection System) fire system. In the unlikely event that a fire should break out, this system will suppress the fire immediately.

Power

The facility is connected to a conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), keeping our data centre running, even during a total power outage.

In the event of any extended power outages the data centre is equipped with a routinely tested, on-site diesel generator that can provide power indefinitely to the POD and the entire facility.

Core Routing and the DC Edge

Our data centre and regional PoPs (Points of Presence) use only fully redundant, Telco grade routing and switching equipment from Cisco.

The core networks between our data centre and regional PoPs are triangulated and our carriers' fibre enter into our data centres at disparate points to guard against service failure.
