*📜 Plan description

Dedicated security-segmented floor space with lockable cages for teams needing stronger physical separation and custom cabling topologies. Power is engineered for high density with redundant feeds and a 100% power uptime target. Cooling supports both air and liquid approaches, enabling GPU/AI racks and other heat-dense systems. Connectivity remains carrier-neutral with cross-connects into diverse meet-me rooms and simple on-ramps to cloud, telco and inter-DC routes. Onsite “Intellihands” handle everything from device swaps and reboots to rack/stack and photo-documented inventory, 24x7x365.

Macquarie Data Centres operates sovereign, ASX-listed, Australian-owned campuses in Sydney (CBD and Macquarie Park) and Canberra with ISO 27001/9001/14001/45001, PCI-DSS and SSAE SOC certifications. Facilities are Certified Strategic by the Australian Federal Government, meet SCEC zoning requirements, and are built to Uptime Institute Tier III design/facility standards. The environment is carrier-neutral and deeply interconnected, offering end-to-end solutions and flexible commercial models instead of fixed “packages.” Customers get 24x7x365 support from 200+ government-cleared engineers, a published NPS around +89, and bespoke colocation outcomes designed for enterprise, hyperscale, government, cloud and AI workloads.

📄 Editorial Review

Macquarie Technology Group has grown from a small entrepreneurial startup into one of Australia’s most recognized names in data centers, cloud services, cybersecurity, and telecommunications for mid-to-large enterprises and government agencies. Their focus has always been on delivering exceptional customer experience while challenging industry norms — a philosophy they call being #SoUnTelco.

The company positions itself as a trusted partner for organizations with complex IT needs, integrating hybrid IT solutions that combine data center colocation, dedicated servers, and multiple cloud platforms. They serve clients ranging from Australian federal agencies to hyperscalers, financial institutions, and multinational corporations.
History and Evolution

Founded in 1992, Macquarie entered the market as a challenger to Australia’s then-dominant telecom monopoly. Over the decades, they have played a key role in driving deregulation, lowering costs, and introducing innovative technologies.
Key milestones include:
  • 2000: Launch of Australia’s first Tier 3 data centers.
  • 2005: Entry into the government security sector.
  • 2011: Establishment of Macquarie Data Centres.
  • 2015–2017: Expansion into private cloud, cloud storage, SaaS-enabled WAN, and SD-WAN solutions.
  • 2016: Dedicated Microsoft Azure practice as part of hybrid IT services.
  • 2021: Launch of a dedicated cybersecurity division for corporate clients.
  • 2023: Rebranding to Macquarie Technology Group to reflect their broader role in digital infrastructure.
Services and Expertise
Data Centers and Colocation

Macquarie operates a 63MW sovereign data center campus in Sydney’s north, designed to meet the high-density needs of hyperscalers, enterprises, and government agencies. Facilities offer:
  • 24×7 onsite engineering support
  • Hybrid cooling (air and liquid)
  • Tiered security and compliance frameworks
  • Scalability from single racks to multi-megawatt deployments

Their facilities currently support 42% of the Australian Federal Government and two of the three major global hyperscalers. The upcoming IC3 Super West data center, purpose-built for AI and cloud workloads, will expand their capacity and technological capabilities even further.
Cloud and Hybrid IT

Macquarie integrates private, public, and hybrid cloud services to meet diverse application and compliance needs. Partnerships with Microsoft Azure, AWS, and other providers allow them to tailor solutions, ensuring agility, performance, and cost efficiency. Services include:
  • Cloud migration and management
  • Secure cloud hosting for government and corporate sectors
  • Custom hybrid environments for specific workloads
Telecom and Network Services

As a full-service telecom provider for business, Macquarie offers:
  • Data, voice, and mobile services
  • SD-WAN for optimized network performance
  • Managed WAN to support SaaS adoption and distributed teams
Cybersecurity for Government and Business

Their cybersecurity offerings are designed to meet the needs of both public and private sectors, with a strong track record in protecting sensitive government systems. Services include secure cloud environments, compliance management, and proactive threat monitoring.
Customer-Centric Philosophy

Macquarie’s business model is shaped around personalized service, knowing customers by name rather than account numbers, and offering direct access to support teams 24/7. Their Net Promoter Score (NPS) consistently ranks among the highest in Australia (over +80), reflecting strong client satisfaction.

Rather than pushing standard packages, the company listens to customer needs and develops tailored solutions that align with business objectives. Their long-standing focus has been on underserved corporate clients with complex requirements but limited in-house IT depth — a segment often overlooked by larger telcos and public clouds.
What Sets Them Apart
  • Sovereign Infrastructure: All data centers are located in Australia, ensuring data residency and compliance.
  • Government Expertise: Extensive work with defense, intelligence, and public sector agencies.
  • Innovation-Driven: Products and services are shaped by customer input, not internal priorities.
  • Challenger Legacy: Proven track record of advocating for deregulation and driving competition.
  • Scalability: From single rack colocation to hyperscale and AI-ready infrastructure.
