Data centres
Portal deliver cost effective, robust, resilient and expertly designed data centre facilities in low risk, well-served regional locations of your choice.

We research potential data centre sites to ensure the proximity of local area substations and diverse power lines, multi carrier exchanges for network and communications and local utilities like water, gas, and sewage services. During our site selection processes, considerations such as the proximity of aircraft flight paths, main roads, chemical plants, research labs, rivers, coastlines, military bases or potential EMC threats from radar transmitters or mobile phone masts are taken into consideration to reduce the business risk.
