Australian neocloud provider Firmus has reached construction milestones at data center projects in Tasmania and Indonesia. In Tasmania, Firmus has topped out the first of two 42MW data halls at its Launceston site, with primary cooling pipework also installed. In Indonesia, the first data hall has been handed over, allowing Firmus to begin installing its HyperCube systems ahead of compute equipment delivery.
"This is what preparing to ship our HyperCube systems across Asia Pacific looks like: manufacturing, construction, and deployment teams working in parallel, across factories, oceans, and sites. Thank you to our build partners and project teams for the work behind each milestone."
Firmus is developing three Tasmania campuses under its Project Southgate initiative. Alongside Launceston, the projects include a 288MW campus in the Bell Bay Advanced Manufacturing Zone and a 52MW facility at the former Mill Park paper mill in Wesley Vale. CDC Data Centres was previously part of Project Southgate but has since stepped back from the partnership. In Indonesia, Firmus is working with DayOne on a Batam data center designed to house 170,000 GPUs. Meta is leasing capacity at the facility.
