6 May 2011 – Canberra – The success of the Federal Government’s data centre strategy continues with the inclusion of Enterprise Data Corporation (EDC) to the Panel.
Jude Jacobs, CEO, EDC said, "We are delighted to be selected on the Federal Government Data Centre Fit Out Facilities Panel. This further endorses EDC's commitment to maintaining data centre leadership with our continued investment in expanding and building new data centres with ample power in safe locations to meet the increased power demands that cloud computing will require over the next ten years”

EDC’s data centres go beyond simply housing computing infrastructure, and operate as fully-equipped Business Resilience Centres for data, voice and staff to provide business continuity and cloud services. EDC has selected data centre locations that are risk free from floods, bush fires, earthquakes, with sufficient alternate freeway access during any congestion occurrence, or limited public transport access.
EDC has the capacity to increase its footprint in both Melbourne and Sydney offering a further 12,000 sqm of high density data centre space in Australia.
EDC is also a major player in cloud services with its data centres in Melbourne and Sydney serving clients as an active data centre configuration to ensure high availability.
The investment in cloud infrastructure lets EDC’s clients and partners access the rapidly expanding cloud market space, otherwise prohibitively expensive due to the substantial investment required upfront to provide end-to-end data centre and cloud solutions.
