CDC Data Centres is an Australian-founded colocation and digital infrastructure operator that designs, builds, and runs its own sovereign, high-security data centre campuses across Australia and New Zealand rather than reselling third-party space. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Canberra, CDC has grown into what it and independent trackers describe as the region’s largest privately owned data centre operator, running campuses in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and (from 2026) Perth, with a group valuation reported by major shareholder Infratil at roughly A$18.5 billion as of mid-2026. Its core differentiator is a focus on government, defence, and “national critical infrastructure” customers, with facilities built to Australia’s Hosting Certification Framework and, in some cases, tied to AUKUS-related security needs. CDC leases rack, cage, and wholesale suite space to enterprises, government agencies, and hyperscale/cloud providers, and is currently pushing hard into AI-ready, liquid-cooled, high-density capacity at its newest campuses (Marsden Park in Sydney and Maddington in Perth) while continuing to expand its established Canberra, Eastern Creek, and Auckland sites.

Is CDC Data Centres a cloud provider or a colocation company?
