EDGE CENTRES
Continuing
its growth in APAC and the US
“ The Edge is like water ; it ’ s the same shape as the space it fills ”
JONATHAN EAVES FOUNDER & CEO EDGE CENTRES
he says pivoting , he really means doing both things faster , bigger , and better than everyone else . In Australia , Edge Centres has 10 data centres : four in Queensland , three in New South Wales , and three more in Victoria – which cover the majority of the population in those three states .
“ I built 10 data centres in Australia , where I have a serious competitor , and it ' s been going very well . But I realised my market was still only 25 million people , and two competitors chasing all the same business in a market that size , in small towns and areas where they ' ve never had a data centre before - it already feels a little too small ,” Eaves says . “ That ' s what led me to look beyond Australia , towards a market with 900 million people , greater population density , and therefore a much greater need for edge solutions . I have my 10 sites across Australia , but it ' s time to spread Edge Centres ' footprint across the rest of APAC , which will inevitably go east and west into North America in 2023 and then into Europe .”
