Premium NextDC Brisbane | Colocation Brisbane

B1 is Queensland’s most fibre-connected commercial data centre, benefiting from the diverse fibre-network infrastructure in the Brisbane CBD. With dual fibre entry ports into the data centre and NEXTDC’s efficient cross connect infrastructure means we benefit from fast connections and reduced latency.

Robust construction and flood protection

Over 80% of the B1 data centre construction is solid concrete, providing extra security and fire protection while allowing NEXTDC to keep heavy infrastructure on the roof. The elevated Wharf St location has a natural rise, so B1 was well above the peak levels of both the 2011 and 1974 floods.

Advanced cooling technology

The chillers on the roof are made by UNIFLAIR in Italy, chosen because they are the quietest chillers on the market – important for the inner city location.

They have multiple compressors which make them extremely energy-efficient by automatically operating only the minimum number of compressors to achieve the level of cooling required. The chillers have a free air cooling option that provides a base level of cooling on colder days without running any of the compressors – another energy saving measure.

Most of B1’s windows have been sheeted over internally with two layers of fire sheeting (and employ a special water dousing system) to provide greatly increased fire protection from adjacent buildings, as well as added security and insulation from the warm Queensland conditions.

The NEXTDC B1 Data centre provides redundancy, reliability, stability & performance, to create the best Australian location to host your server.

Is Managed Colocation Right For You?

Stability
Backed by our Service Level Agreement, we deliver a 100% uptime guarantee. Exigent Australia can significantly minimise any downtime for your business when natural disasters or power outages happen. Our facility offers N+1 power redundant with a purpose built enterprise-grade network.

Scalability
By utilising our network, customers are able to increase their bandwidth and scale up or down as needed. Customers can customise their solution based on their requirements and budget needs.

Lower Your Cost
When customers colocate their equipment in our data centres, customers are able to lower their cost by no longer having to maintain their own communications room. Our data centres provide the connectivity, power, cooling and level of security for our customers equipment at a fraction of the cost.

Security
Data Centres include a high level of security that involves biometric fingerprint scanning and swipe card access to be able to access the facility. Data Centres are also manned 24 hours, 7 days a week with CCTV security.
