NE1 Newman Data Centre

As digital transformation accelerates in the mining industry, deploying the critical digital infrastructure required to optimise innovation leveraging new technologies such as AI, 5G, IoT, and automation is a big challenge facing the sector. At NEXTDC we have recognised the need for resilient, secure, and cloud‑connected data centres that can operate uninterrupted at the industry’s remote operational edges such as the Pilbara in Western Australia’s north. As NEXTDC continues to expand our data centre portfolio, and build out edge data centre services, our NE1 and PH1 developments in The Pilbara will be the foundation for bringing low latency cloud access to one of the harshest, most isolated environments on planet Earth. NEXTDC’s NE1 Newman edge data centre is strategically located near critical mining and exploration operations in the southern Pilbara, enabling access to secure, high-performance connectivity to remote operational centres in Perth and pit-to-port operations in Port Hedland. This crucial infrastructure development will enable the industry toharness technologies that directly support core objectives such as safety, sustainability, operational continuity, cost efficiency and productivity. Interconnecting directly with NEXTDC’s national sovereign ecosystem of over 770 clouds, carriers and digital services providers, Stage 1 of NE1 Newman introduces 1MW of IT capacity to Australia’s largest export hub. It is certified to Uptime Institute Tier III standards and is backed by NEXDC’s 100% uptime guarantee. Industry benchmark energy efficiency and sustainability is built into NE1’s DNA so that customers can rest assured they are getting the best possible PUE performance in a region renowned as one of the hottest in Australia. The facility utilises behind-the-meter power generation (solar), water conservation, recycling, land‑fill diversion and ethical eWaste disposal to
