The facility is engineered for high density requirements, boasting a fully built out power capacity of 20 MW. To ensure uninterrupted service, the site utilizes an N+1 UPS redundancy configuration. In the event of a utility failure, the standby power system comprised of ten 2,250 kVA diesel generators provides robust N+1 backup, ensuring that mission critical workloads remain online regardless of external conditions.

Advanced Cooling Systems

Maintaining optimal environmental conditions across 6,894 square meters of whitespace is handled by a sophisticated climate control architecture. SY3 employs a combination of CRAC units and water cooled centrifugal chillers in an N+1 redundancy setup. This configuration ensures that even during peak thermal loads or equipment maintenance, the raised floor environment remains within strict temperature and humidity parameters to protect sensitive hardware.

Comprehensive Security Measures

Security at SY3 is multi layered, beginning with a fenced perimeter and 24/7 onsite security staff. Access to the data hall is strictly regulated through mantrap entries, biometric access controls, and card readers. The entire premises are under constant CCTV surveillance, providing a secure environment that meets the rigorous standards required for modern enterprise infrastructure.

Connectivity and Peering Ecosystem

As a major interconnection point, the facility provides access to a massive digital ecosystem, including 179 peering networks and 5 major network providers. It hosts one Internet Exchange Point IXP and is a vital node for businesses looking to reduce latency across Australia. Whether through shared rackspace or private cages, tenants can leverage this dense connectivity to reach global markets efficiently.

Fire Suppression and Safety

To mitigate the risk of fire, the facility is equipped with a high sensitivity VESDA Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus system alongside standard smoke and heat detectors. The fire suppression strategy utilizes double interlocked pre action sprinklers dry pipe, which prevents accidental water discharge and ensures that fire fighting measures are only deployed when a genuine threat is confirmed, protecting the integrity of the servers.

Compliance and Certifications

SY3 is a highly regulated facility, holding an impressive array of global certifications to ensure operational excellence and sustainability. It is LEED Gold certified, highlighting its commitment to energy efficiency. Furthermore, it maintains ISO 27001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, and SOC 1 and 2 Type II certifications, providing tenants with documented assurance regarding security, environmental management, and business continuity.
