GovDC & Infrastructure Support services is a whole of government program designed to support agencies demand for hybrid cloud and ICT hosting.

Prior to widespread adoption of cloud computing, the GovDC program was in place to ensure every agency had access to modern, efficient and secure data centre facilities. With the growth of cloud computing, GovDC has developed capabilities to continue to support the infrastructure requirements of agencies adopting hybrid cloud architectures.

Our services

This purpose-built facility for NSW government and operated by the world's largest data centre provider, Equinix, this provides whole of government colocation services, including on-premise, private cloud and community cloud services. GovDC Colocation allows agencies to easily adopt hybrid cloud architectures which are increasingly popular with agencies and other public sector bodies.

2. GovDC cloud - a community marketplace dedicated to government

3. Innovation space

   Innovation Space is an incubation and test area within the GovDC Cloud. Agencies can access vendor offerings in the Innovation Space to become familiar with, and trial, the industry's latest technologies. Vendors are provided with a more flexible colocation agreement whilst they are demonstrating and testing.

This service is under development and will provide an ability to easily and securely connect to any service or tenant of the GovDC environment.
