NEXTDC first-to-market with pay-as-you-go colocation

BRISBANE, Australia – 17 November, 2014. NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT),
Australia’s leading Data-Centre-as-a-Service provider, today announced the
launch of their FastStart colocation bundles, offering customers a 30-day
contract option with remote management capability.

This minimal commitment pay-by-the-month option gives customers a faster
way to access the full benefits of NEXTDC’s enterprise-class colocation
services and Cloud Centre ecosystem to develop their hybrid cloud solution.

>From a 1kW Quarter Rack up to a 6kW Full Rack, FastStart offers a flexible
and customisable colocation bundle supported by the same resilient data
centre infrastructure and customer services as traditionally purchased
colocation.

“Businesses are demanding cloud-like flexibility from their data centre
service, and NEXTDC is fulfilling this need by improving and expanding our
range of industry-leading products and services. The introduction of
FastStart reflects our commitment to maintaining our position as
Australia’s most innovative data centre provider”, said NEXTDC CEO Craig
Scroggie. “FastStart radically accelerates speed-of-access to
enterprise-grade colocation and our Cloud Centre ecosystem, giving
customers the opportunity to hybridise their IT strategy with future
flexibility.”

Paired with NEXTDC’s NXTech Smart Hands service, FastStart bundles mean
customers’ entire service with NEXTDC can be ordered and maintained
remotely, from receiving deliveries to building, operating and managing
their infrastructure. NEXTDC Project Management services also assist with
planning and managing a migration project or other major infrastructure
changes.

This combination of customisable colocation and on-the-ground data centre
expertise makes FastStart attractive for SMEs without their own expert tech
staff; offshore organisations wanting to establish an Australian presence;
organisations unsure of their upfront colocation requirements; or those
needing to rapidly deploy IT infrastructure in any of NEXTDC’s facilities.

NEXTDC racks come ready with ID access cards (IDACs) for 24/7 data centre
access, and can be monitored remotely through NEXTDC’s award-winning data
centre management portal, ONEDC®. ONEDC allows users to manage their entire
service with NEXTDC, across multiple facilities, from any web-enabled
device through a simple, easy-to-use interface.
