Cloud365 Melbourne Datacentre 6 is located at Equinix ME1, part of the Equinix Melbourne Campus in Port Melbourne, VIC. Cloud365 was a foundation client at ME1 — the second customer to deploy infrastructure when the facility opened — providing our team with a unique opportunity to observe the facility's build and commissioning from day one.

ME1 is constructed to the ASIO T4 Security Standard — one of the highest physical security standards applied to commercial data centre facilities in Australia. Cloud365's Southbank headquarters is just minutes away, enabling rapid access for infrastructure deployments, maintenance activities, and customer visits.

The Equinix Melbourne Campus has since grown to multiple facilities, cementing Port Melbourne as Victoria's leading data centre precinct. Cloud365's ME1 presence places our customers at the centre of Melbourne's fibre and carrier ecosystem, with access to multiple upstream providers and diverse network paths.

From our Platform Architect — Darren Moss

"Our Melbourne DC6 facility was our first with Equinix and is located at their flagship ME1 facility — a world-class data centre, purpose-built from the ground up. In 2014, Cloud365 was the second customer to begin with Equinix at this location, which gave our team the opportunity to watch and interact with the Equinix team during the facility build and opening. Port Melbourne is ideally located for our team, just a short drive from Melbourne city, easily accessible for daily support and maintenance activities."
