As its most sustainable data centre in Australia to date , the launch comes off the back of recent openings in India and Singapore over the past 14 months . The Sydney expansion forms part of a network of six data centres across APAC , offering open , trusted and sovereign cloud solutions for businesses looking to expand in the region .

Deploying its proprietary water-cooling technology with cloud infrastructure optimised for mission-critical workloads , the new data centre will sustainably meet the growing demand for high compute cloud solutions , fuelled by the increasing adoption of emerging technologies , especially as the global cloud services market is estimated to reach US $ 2.5 trillion by 2031 .

OVHcloud ’ s high-performance scale dedicated servers , launched for the first time in Australia and powered by the latest AMD and Intel processors , will be available at the new data centre to bring even more compute power , making innovation and high performance more accessible .

The increased popularity of emerging technologies such as 5G , Edge Computing and Generative AI has trigged an influx of demand for high computing performance , but many organisations are struggling to balance this need whilst keeping carbon footprints top of mind ,” said Michel Paulin , Chief Executive Officer , OVHcloud . “ As a pioneer in water-cooling technology for more than 20 years , we are confident in our ability to assist organisations in powering their businesses , and their ESG goals as well .”

OVHcloud ’ s newest data centre features an integrated water-cooling system that is built into a vertical rack designed to facilitate cooling at the server level , eliminating the need for air conditioning in server rooms , with significant benefits in costs and environmental impact . At the same time , the design will also allow precise and efficient cooling , so that it only requires a single glass of water to cool an OVHcloud server as the water is cooled and circulated in a closed loop .

INTELLIGENT POWER AND COOLING

These advancements have powered the group to achieve exceptional sustainability metrics , boasting a PUE as low as 1.29 and a WUE ( Water Usage Effectiveness ) of 0.30l / kWh , both significantly lower than the industry average . By manufacturing its own racks and servers , OVHcloud has established an integrated industrial model with a CUE ( Carbon Usage Effectiveness ) of 0.18 .

“ We are excited to bring our latest data centre technology to Sydney , which deploys water-cooling at scale and enables a sustainable cloud by design ,” said Terry Maiolo , Vice President and General Manager , APAC , OVHcloud . “ With Australia as one of the most densely served economies by data centres per capita , this marks a pivotal development for Australian businesses as more organisations consider the sustainability of data centres on their radar .” �
