Acoustic to launch a local Cloud-based Data Centre in Australia

Acoustic, formerly part of IBM, has announced the launch of a local cloud-based data centre in Australia.

The company said it is committing “tens of millions of dollars” to drive growth in-country and expand its local team. However, it did not get into the specifics of the investment.

Acoustic was spun off from IBM in 2020 and currently has over 100 partners globally including locals Datamine, Merkle Australia and KWPI Agency. Acoustic specialises in serving clients with high level privacy and governance needs and said that this was a key reason for building a local data centre.

Building local footprint

“Our go-to-market approach is underpinned by a commitment to build out a strong local footprint in Asia Pacific and Japan that provides our customers and partners with the operational support and performance they need to continue driving growth and profitability,” said Dennis Self, chief executive, Acoustic.

The company added that it is also committed to achieving ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications and SOC Type 1 compliance.

In June, the Australian Ministry of Defence unveiled a new data centre in Canberra, which will be operated by Macquarie Telecom Group.

Other states are also setting up such data centres. The New South Wales (NSW) government gave its nod to a new $264 million in Sydney. Construction of the data centre is expected to begin in September and be operational by March 2023.

“Australia is one of Acoustic’s primary growth markets and our expansion here is a crucial step in our global growth,” added Self.

Data centre operators are increasing their presence in Australia to create a local, cloud-based data centre that caters to the growing desire of customers — especially large enterprises and public sector customers — for data sovereignty and global privacy law compliance purposes, as well as improved latency and access.

Recently, Australian property developer Hickory and Stockland announed their forays into data centre business.
