US company Equinix has announced plans to expand its Shenton Park data centre while seeking to differentiate itself from the likes of NEXTDC and Fujitsu, which are also upgrading their Perth data centre operations.
Fujitsu has committed to spend up to $17 million upgrading its Malaga data centre, where it is aiming to gain a competitive edge by securing the highest level of industry certification.
SPECIAL REPORT: Three data centre operators, including new player Pier DC, are set to be big winners from the state government's GovNext plan, though a fourth operator is seeking to spoil the party.
