DCI Data Centres, the data centre arm of Brookfield Global Data Centre, has finished the construction of one of the first two generation cloud data centres in Auckland.

AKL01 presents a total of 50+ MW of critical technical infrastructure to the New Zealand market. The second data centre AKL02 is under construction in Albany.

DCI claimed AKL01 has been built to the highest physical and virtual security and compliance credentials to manage multi-national cloud, highly classified government, and defence workloads.

Each data centre will create more than 150 jobs during construction. It will create 250 full-time equivalent jobs once both sites are operational.

DCI intends to run its facilities in New Zealand from 100% renewable sources, and to set industry-leading benchmarks for water and energy efficiency, as it continues its expansion in New Zealand.

DCI head of Australian and New Zealand business Malcolm Roe said DCI is committed to major investment program focusing on cloud data infrastructure to serve the need to securely access and store data.

“It is fantastic to have delivered our first data centre in New Zealand which will address a critical capacity gap in the market and support the growth of the digital economy,” said Roe.

“AKL01 has been designed to support New Zealand’s data sovereignty, cloud adoption and digital skills development. We expect to collectively bring over NZ$600 million to the Auckland region, with a combined economic value exceeding NZ$1.4 billion over the life of the projects,” said DCI group CEO Nicolas Toh.

“Through our portfolio companies including DCI we are delivering timely and highly secure data centres and fibre networks that are becoming an integral fabric of global cloud players operations in New Zealand,” said Brookfield Global Data Centre Platform CEO and DCI chair Udhay Mathialagan.
