Australian Government approved data centres: quick answers

What are Australian Government approved data centres?

Australian Government approved data centres are facilities certified under the Hosting Certification Framework (HCF), the standard administered by the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) for hosting providers used by federal agencies. The framework has two tiers. Certified Strategic is the highest, requiring Australian ownership and control, vetted operations and strict physical security for the government's most sensitive and high-risk workloads. Certified Assured is the tier for lower-risk data.

How many data centres are Certified Strategic in Australia?

Australia has 61 Certified Strategic sites: 21 Certified Strategic facilities and 40 Certified Strategic enclaves. The Australia Data Centre Index lists every one, with provider, location, MW band and certification level. Providers include NEXTDC, Canberra Data Centres (CDC), AirTrunk, Equinix, Macquarie Technology Group, Digital Realty, Telstra and others.

What does DTA Certified Strategic mean?

DTA Certified Strategic is the highest tier under the Hosting Certification Framework. Providers at this level must allow the Australian Government to specify ownership and control conditions, with vetted operations and physical security suitable for sensitive and high-risk workloads.

What is the difference between Certified Strategic and Certified Assured?

Certified Strategic is the highest HCF tier for sensitive and high-risk government workloads, with Australian ownership and control conditions, vetted operations and strict physical security. Certified Assured is the HCF tier for lower-risk data. It is referenced here as a tier definition only.

What is a certified data centre in Australia?
