Many challenges for regional businesses are now a thing of the past thanks to Leading Edge Data Centres (LEDC).
The company is behind a network of 6 interconnected, Tier III data centres across regional New South Wales, including Newcastle, Albury, Wagga, Tamworth, Dubbo & Coffs Harbour, with additional sites identified suitable for further rollouts throughout regional Australia. It’s the first dedicated regional internet network that enables IT infrastructure to be available at parity across the country.
LEDC’s data centre network provides organisations in major regional areas a greatly improved user experience, reduces costs, and enables regional businesses to compete with their capital city counterparts. The establishment of this regional data centre network gives businesses the ability to relocate on-premise servers into a reliable, secure colocation that maximises uptime and introduces competition to the local IT&T marketplace.
Operating since 2019, LEDC partners with a network of IT Service Providers to deliver services to their customers. From their 24/7 Network Operations Centre in Tamworth, they serve major companies such as Hunter Water, Vocus, Kinetix, RITE Tech Solutions and many Regional Councils, including Newcastle, Tamworth, Singleton, and Narromine.
LEDC’s edge data centres provide direct cloud access, low latency connections, and create a competitive marketplace that acts as a technology hub for the local community.
LEDC has plans to expand its footprint in Victoria and Queensland over the next two years, with the end goal aiming to service about 85% of the regional population of Australia.
With people increasingly migrating to regional areas, the demand for robust IT infrastructure is paramount. LEDC’s initiative of establishing interconnected, Tier III data centres across regional NSW bridges the gap between metropolitan and regional IT capabilities, fostering innovation and growth. As LEDC expands its footprint, new businesses have a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of transformative change, promising prosperity and inclusivity for all.
