NSW plans data-centre revamp | Australian IT

THE NSW Government has decided to consolidate its 130 data centres into two facilities in a bid to put a lid on maintenance costs and energy consumption, according to the state's chief information officer Emmanuel Rodriguez.

"Health and DET (Department of Education and Training), our mega-agencies, have already committed to be anchor tenants for the two data centres."

The NSW Government's CIO office falls under the Commerce Department, which Deputy Premier Carmel Tebutt oversees.

Ms Tebutt was also the NSW Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, a boon for the state's data-centre rationalisation initiative, Mr Rodriguez said.

"We're going to push the green agenda as far as we can," he said.

Apart from an approved site in Sydney, TRE's proposal to build a $2 billion, 130,000sqm gas-powered data centre facility across two sites in Hume and Belconnen is still awaiting approval from the ACT's development and environment authorities.
