Built to suit: Consider a tailored data centre solution

For global organisations looking to expand into new regions like Australia and New Zealand, or local businesses increasing their data requirements, a big challenge is establishing high-performance infrastructure without spending years (and the entire budget) on building a data centre from scratch.

There's a lot for an organisation to consider when setting up a data centre. They need to organise land acquisition, local permits and compliance, power and construction — this can take a long time and doesn’t align with speed-to-market demands.

Why build-to-suit data centres make sense

Custom data centre builds give organisations the technical control and performance they need, without the delay and complexity of constructing their own site. Encompassed within the build-to-suit model are options like tailored colocation data centre space or a bespoke facility — all these options allow organisations to move quickly and confidently.

For many organisations, especially those in high-growth situations, finding data centre space that matches their requirements for power resiliency setup, cooling, security and compliance isn’t straightforward. What’s needed is a partner who can deliver a bespoke data centre solution that aligns with global standards while working within local rules and regulations.

A real-world perspective

When an international customer sought to establish its initial data centre footprint in New Zealand, it needed more than just a standard colocation provider — it needed a partner capable of adapting to evolving requirements while maintaining the high standards expected of hyperscale environments. Here’s how Datacom supported its requirements:

This example highlights a growing recognition that when it comes to mission-critical IT infrastructure, "bigger" doesn't always mean "better."
