Fujitsu operates facilities across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia currently totaling around 25MW (though several sites have potential for further development). It offers colocation and other services from these sites.

The auction is reportedly being dubbed Project Emerald, according to a flyer seen by AFR.

Fujitsu Australia’s website lists three facilities around Sydney. In North Ryde, the company leases a 4.8MW site. Built in 2001, the single-story facility spans 3,600 sqm (38,750 sq ft) in a single data hall.

In Greystanes, the company leases a multi-story data center built in 2011. The facility spans 9,000 sqm (96,875 sq ft) across nine data halls and has up to 60MW of capacity.

In Homebush Bay, the company leases a 6MW site. Built in 1988 and refurbished in 2007 and 2010, the site spans 2,600 sqm (27,986 sq ft) across three data halls.

In Noble Park, Melbourne; the 12MW, 3,600 sqm site was originally built in 1988 and upgraded in 2015. The site is owned and operated by Fujitsu.

In Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane, the company is leasing a 2MW site. Built in 2006, the site spans 810 sqm (8,719 sq ft) across two data halls.

A Fujitsu-occupied data center in Perth, Western Australia, was sold by landlord Global Data Centre Group in April for AU$39 million (US$25.3m). The buyer wasn’t disclosed.

Located at 6 Mulgul Road in Malaga, the two-story facility was constructed in 2009 and is sole-tenanted and managed by Fujitsu Australia. The site offers 5MW across eight data halls, covering 3,500 sqm (37,675 sq ft). According to a GDCG presentation, the site is 100 percent leased to Fujitsu on a 15-year team, with approximately 1.5 years remaining on the lease and one five-year extension option remaining.

Fujitsu exited its data center business in the US last year, with the company’s Americas CEO Asif Poonja saying it “didn’t have the size and scale” to compete with the cloud players and so was focused on partnering with them instead. He also hinted that the company could follow a similar strategy in South America, but would be retaining the business in the Caribbean.

The company continues to operate data centers in the UK and Japan.
