As more businesses turn to Perth, it's clear the city has become a strategic part of Australia’s internet infrastructure and a thriving regional interconnection hub. It's all down to its proximity to Southeast Asia and its direct connectivity to key international regions via major subsea cables.

Filmed at the Quay Perth Hotel in Perth, this video recaps the successful opening of our third IBX data center in Western Australia, PE3. This major investment to support our partners and customers creates an environment where they can come together to interconnect and implement digital-first strategies. Recognizing what the Perth market has to offer, some of our local customers and partners shared these thoughts at our recent PE3 opening event.

  • Andrew Borthwick, Managing Director, Orange Business Services, said he has seen real change in the way organizations are digitalizing and that it’s his company’s job to bring the best of the globe to them locally and why investments like PE3 are fantastic to help support their operations.
  • Gavin Gibson, COO, Dreamscape Networks, said his company has really benefited from Perth’s geographical location with its connectivity to international markets, and that it’s been a real catalyst for others and customers of Equinix to embrace digital technologies.
  • Daniel Kesl, Infrastructure Engineering, Rio Tinto, said the opportunity to leverage subsea cables to access global services ensures the best connectivity and low latency to deliver great customer service. He also highlighted how he’s now looking to edge computing to capitalize on technologies like AI and ML.
