The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has agreed to a $37 million deal to replace its ageing data centre at its Sydney headquarters with a modern and resilient facility.
The RBA has partnered with Fujitsu Australia to design, build and operate the new data centre, which will support the bank’s critical operations. The project is expected to take 18 months to complete and will involve the migration of the bank’s existing systems to the new facility.
The new data centre will feature advanced security and energy-efficient technologies, ensuring the RBA’s operations are secure, efficient and environmentally sustainable. The investment demonstrates the RBA’s commitment to maintaining a robust and reliable infrastructure to support its critical functions.
Fujitsu Australia will provide a range of services, including data centre operations, security and maintenance, under the deal. The company has experience in delivering similar projects for other government agencies and financial institutions.
The RBA’s existing data centre was built in the 1980s and has undergone several upgrades over the years. However, the bank has decided to replace it with a modern facility to ensure it can continue to operate securely and efficiently.
