Macquarie Data Centres’ IC3 Super West is Sydney’s flagship sovereign AI-ready data center facility, strategically located within the 65 MW Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus in Sydney’s North Zone, one of Australia’s most important technology and business corridors. Representing a $350 million+ Phase 1 investment, IC3 Super West delivers 47 MW of critical IT capacity designed to support the rapidly increasing infrastructure demands of hyperscale cloud providers, government organisations, enterprises, and artificial intelligence (AI) developers. Purpose-built as a 100% Australian sovereign data center, the facility holds Certified Strategic status, ensuring it meets stringent requirements for data sovereignty, security, and trusted digital infrastructure. Engineered for next-generation computing environments, IC3 Super West is optimized for high-density AI and GPU workloads, supporting extreme rack densities of more than 150 kW per rack through a flexible cooling architecture combining advanced air cooling, direct liquid cooling, and hybrid cooling solutions. This enables customers to deploy powerful AI clusters, machine learning platforms, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems while maintaining efficiency and operational reliability. The facility provides robust connectivity through direct dark-fiber interconnects into Sydney’s major fiber networks, enabling low-latency communication, resilient data exchange, and seamless workload integration. Customers also benefit from native access to leading public cloud on-ramps, supporting secure hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
