    INDIGO Partnership

    NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“NEXTDC” or “the Company” is pleased to announce that it has agreed terms with Superloop Limited (ASX: SLC) under which it is to provide connectivity to the new INDIGO subsea cable system for both the NEXTDC data centres in Perth (P1 and P2) as well as Sydney (S1 and S2).

    Superloop will provide NEXTDC with optical layer connectivity to INDIGO, with an expected ‘ready for service’ date in 2HFY19, enabling speeds exceeding 36 terabits per second. Superloop will also be the inaugural customer at NEXTDC’s new world class 20MW P2 Tier IV data centre currently under development in East Perth.

    The INDIGO subsea cable stretches 9,200km between Singapore and Perth via Jakarta and onwards to Sydney. The cable is being built by INDIGO consortium members Superloop, AARnet, Google, Indosat, Singtel/Optus and Telstra.

    NEXTDC customers in Perth and Sydney will benefit from Asia Pacific’s shortest submarine route to Singapore (which is also the major ASIAPAC gateway to Europe and Africa). INDIGO Central and INDIGO West cables shorten the path from Sydney to Singapore by approximately four thousand kilometres, providing significantly lower latency and greater reliability.

    Craig Scroggie, CEO of NEXTDC commented: “NEXTDC’s customers want to design their networks, applications and service delivery capabilities using world-class services and direct access to the fastest, most diverse connections available. Our partnership with Superloop provides our customers access to the most direct connectivity between Perth and Sydney, and the fastest gateway into Singapore - via a simple Cross Connect. Having Indigo as our first P2 customer underlines the ever-increasing importance of cloud-to-cloud connectivity, whether national or international, and supports Perth’s acceleration towards a cloud-based economy.”

    Drew Kelton, CEO of Superloop commented: “We are starting to see the benefits of our investment in infrastructure in Australia and South East Asia. INDIGO joins these markets together and in conjunction with NEXTDC provides a springboard for Australian businesses expanding in Asia or Asian business seeking a foothold in Australia.”
