CDC proudly announces it has achieved NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification across its Australian and New Zealand data centres.
CDC is the first hyperscale data centre provider to achieve certification in New Zealand.
CDC provides more than 100MW of certified operational capacity available to support AI workloads across both Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, with construction underway for an additional 388MW of capacity.
CDC offers prospective and existing customers an extensive footprint of world-class facilities across both Australia and New Zealand. This DGX-Ready Data Center certification further solidifies CDC’s position as a leading regional provider of infrastructure for large-scale, highly-secure classic compute, AI, cloud and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
This recognition also highlights CDC’s ongoing commitment to combining world-class performance with environmental sustainability. CDC also remains the only Toitū net carbonzero-certified data centre in New Zealand, which is an achievement that sets it apart in the industry.
Since 2007, CDC has pioneered the deployment of innovative cooling technologies, with its closed-loop cooling system, and is using direct liquid-to-chip cooling for the high-performance supercomputers securely hosted in their data centres. These technologies are ideal to support NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB200 systems, helping ensure that AI and supercomputing workloads are not only powerful, but also sustainable. This architecture has positioned CDC to handle the growing demands of AI workloads efficiently while maintaining a low environmental footprint.
CDC’s data centres provide:
- Advanced cooling for AI: Closed-loop cooling and direct liquid-to-chip systems provide efficient and sustainable cooling, enabling the centre to support NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB200 systems without compromising environmental standards.
- Sustainable innovation: With energy-efficient designs, CDC have long prioritised sustainability, reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption while supporting the rapid growth of AI-driven applications.
- Scalable infrastructure: As demand for AI and HPC grows, CDC’s infrastructure is designed to scale efficiently, offering the power and performance needed for the most advanced computational workloads.
- Reliable and secure: CDC delivers advanced security systems and is governed by robust compliance frameworks, maintaining the integrity of sensitive AI workloads, backed by industry-leading best practices.
- Low-latency connectivity: CDC’s high-performance infrastructure, coupled with high bandwidth, provides businesses with the capacity to manage real-time AI processing at scale.
“The NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification is a natural milestone for us.”
“Our cooling architecture enables us to support AI and supercomputing workloads in a way that’s not only high-performance but also environmentally responsible. We’re proud to offer infrastructure that can meet both the technical demands and sustainability goals of businesses across both Australia and New Zealand.”
Greg Boorer, CEO and Founder at CDC
