Secure ecosystem

CDC and its customers, partners and alliances value the ability to connect and collaborate in a secure ecosystem.

This environment is enabled and safeguarded by CDC.

In addition to our customers, our wide range of technology providers and partners bring substantial additional capability and expertise to the ecosystem.

Organisations can safely and securely house their private clouds in CDC’s ecosystem and still receive the benefits of a public cloud. These include self-service, scalability and elasticity. Dedicated resources over a computing infrastructure hosted on-premises provide additional control and customisation.

CDC’s enhanced security, combined with private clouds, delivers a higher level of security and privacy. Company firewalls and internal hosting ensure that operations and sensitive data are not accessible to third-party providers.

Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions can be provisioned through a private cloud arrangement and both can be provided from our facilities.

Security is a primary focus for CDC and this allows private and public cloud providers to uplift their capability to handle higher classification workloads.

CDC has many certified partners who reside in the CDC ecosystem.

Public cloud providers who reside in the CDC ecosystem are responsible for all management and maintenance of the solutions consumed by a third party.

CDC has an engagement team that works with the providers to ensure continuity and scale of service.

Security is paramount to cloud services and the data centre, and proper security methods include intrusion detection and prevention systems.

CDC understands that our customers have complex environments and specialised requirements that may require additional partners to deliver the best outcomes.

We take great pride in working with you or your partners to get the right outcome for each customer.

CDC maintains regular contact with its partner ecosystem to ensure that CDC is represented accurately and that your business is supported.

CDC is a carrier-neutral facility and allows interconnection between multiple telecommunication carriers and/or colocation providers based on our customers’ needs.

As a minimum, the following carriers are available in CDC facilities:

•  AAPT/TPG/Pipe Networks
•  Nextgen Networks/Vocus
•  Optus
•  Telstra
•  UECOMM

CDC can facilitate onboarding a carrier if a customer requires a new POP.

Due to CDC’s stringent security protocols, only data centre-specific access is provided to carriers.
