New Canberra Data Centre Opening

ACT, Australia - April 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Many Australian business owners in Canberra and also government agencies are investigating the possibility of using a local data centre for hosting their data. This presents an opportunity to use a local data centre in Canberra.

The main question many business owners in Canberra are asking is: what are the benefits behind hosting your data locally in Canberra?

Some key positives for hosting your websites most important asset been data are the following:

Access to a strong power source which will be here today and in the future: It is important to look for a data centre which has the effective power source. As blackouts can happen, many high level data centres have their own backend of power to enable long term up time. The data centre needs to have its own backup power source and needs to be self sufficient.

Cooling and climate is also import: It is important that burnouts and blackouts can occur when the data centre is overheating. The Canberra temperature is normally at a good level to sustain this type of rapid increase or decrease in temperature. A positive of this is that outside air can also be used to cool the data centre.

Proximity to things going wrong with the natural surroundings: Data centres in Canberra are ideal as they are not located on flood plains or located on fault lines within the region. As the data centre is also located in the inner city area it removes any potential cause of natural disaster such as fire approaching the data centre.

Data Security is also important: Hosting the data in Australia in comparison to hosting the data in the USA can have benefits. Things such as the USA’s Patriot Act which can potentially put data security at risk and can assist the US government for seizing corporate data.

Speed increases for local customers when the website is hosted locally: It is important to note that you need to host your data centre where your customer base is. If you host your data centre in an area which is overseas the data access speed to the website is far slower.

So overall there is a fantastic case to host your data in a Canberra Data Centre
