Containerised halls make 247 Balcatta Road unusual in Perth: the building was assembled from prefabricated ISO modules, each delivering a minimum of 90 kW of cooling, with the plant scalable between 500 kW and 1,000 kW. It sits in the northern suburbs, away from the CBD cluster at QV.1, 45 St Georges Terrace and Equinix PE1. Ownership has moved twice - the site was built and traded as Datacenter Limited, then acquired in August 2021 by ASX-listed ActivePort and folded into its Global Edge brand. ActivePort today presents Global Edge as a software platform and dealer programme and names no Perth building, and the globaledge.net.au domain no longer resolves. No networks are recorded on site; Perth's peering weight sits at NEXTDC P2 with 49 networks and three exchanges, and Vocus PER01 with 28.
