4 Strategy Drivers Electricity becomes a key cost driver Limited market supply sufficient for immediate needs New data centres waiting on committed lessees Building a government data centre not timely Cost avoidance through agency data centre investments There is scope for collective action
Data Centre Strategy Program 2010 2025 5 First five years Aggregate whole of government demand Establish data centre facilities and services panels Assist the first agencies to move Define standards to ensure maximum efficiencies Work with smaller agencies to consolidate requirements Second five years Further cost avoidance through shared technology solutions Last five years New opportunities from changes in technology & processes
6 Benefits realisation Sources of avoided costs Increased efficiency in the use of electricity Reduced data centre floor space Increased efficiency of data centre ICT assets Improved matching of ICT facilities to needs Standardised ICT Infrastructure Architecture Reduced agency procurement costs

11 Getting Started Trigger Point identified, for example Lease expiry Outsourced contract expiry Major asset replacement Building move End of data centre life Increase in data centre capacity required
12 Defining requirements Contact AGIMO Data Centres Team datacentres@finance.gov.au Initial Requirements definition Timelines Space required (in square metres) Power required (kw per rack) Location preference Dependencies Will Migration Services be required
