There was a reported jump from 37% to 70% utilisation for P1 lately (according to the above businessnews article) so best not be caught out being full. There must be some big order(s) on their way. Also, the Vocus ASC Cable has recently come online plus the Indigo West / Central cables are not too far away either (Q1 2019) so not as isolated as has been in the past.
Yeah thats fair enough, but at the moment when I look at the amount of capacity either online or coming online in WA I am concerned about the size of P2.
A simple google search turns up
PierDC - Uptime Certified, 8MW available
Equinix announced the expansion of the Metronode site
Datacenter Limited, a 6MW site and a customer of Data Exchange
FrontierDC are constructing a facility in Perth based on their announcements
And you still have all the older Vocus facilities floating about that they could not clear off their balance sheet when the sale of their data centre assets never eventuated.
I think its going to be really tough going in that state for a while given the state of the local economy too. I appreciate that there is some significant investment in new submarine cables Im just curious to know where all the demand is coming from.
