Fujitsu has agreed to sell its Australian data center business to private equity firm Next Capital. The deal includes five data centers totaling 25MW of capacity, with room to expand to 100MW. Financial terms were not disclosed, and Fujitsu said operations will continue as normal until the transaction closes.
"Following completion, five data centres across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth will become an independent, Australian-managed national platform, with a dedicated focus on investing in and growing the business for its customers," the company said. "Importantly, the data centre team will transition with the business, continuing to provide the service, operational knowledge and customer relationships that customers rely on."
Fujitsu had been seeking a buyer for the portfolio since 2024. The sale includes facilities in Greystanes, Homebush, Noble Park, Eight Mile Plains, and Malaga, ranging from 2MW to 12MW each and totaling 25MW of capacity.
"This transaction enables us to focus our investment on what we do best: helping customers modernise critical systems, improve cyber resilience and accelerate digital transformation," said Peter Grassi, CEO of Fujitsu in Oceania. "It also allows us to invest more deeply in emerging technologies such as sovereign Al, high-performance computing and quantum computing. This strengthens our ability to support customers in Australia through their next phase of growth and transformation. "
