Core offering

Colocity provides colocation rack space in quarter, half, and full rack configurations across two Adelaide CBD data centre facilities (DC1 Pulteney Street Tier-2 and DC3 Morphett Street Tier-3). On top of this physical hosting it sells IP transit (100Mbps to 10Gbps, fully redundant, IPv4/IPv6), managed WAN and dark fibre point-to-point connectivity at up to 10Gbps using DWDM, and 24/7 Remote Hands/Smart Hands technical support for equipment deliveries, server reboots, and audits.

Product overview

Colocity is a privately owned South Australian colocation data centre provider operating since 2007, offering a portfolio of interconnected services centered around its two Adelaide CBD data centre facilities. The core offering consists of Data Centre Co-Location (providing rack space in quarter, half, and full configurations at DC1 Pulteney Street and DC3 Morphett Street), complemented by Internet Transit (redundant IP connectivity from 100Mbps to 10Gbps), Managed WAN and Dark Fibre (point-to-point secured connections up to 10Gbps with 99.99% SLA), and Remote Hands and Smart Hands Support (24/7 technical assistance). The two facilities are geographically diverse, connected by dedicated fibre for fault failover, with DC1 offering Tier-2 redundancy and DC3 providing Tier-3 redundancy. Colocity's carrier-neutral approach allows clients to choose any carrier service while the company acts as an ISP broker for competitive pricing.

Direct peers

• NextDC: Australia's largest independent colocation data centre operator with multiple Tier-III/IV facilities. Directly comparable to Colocity as a carrier-neutral, multi-tenant colocation provider, though at significantly larger national scale.
• AirTrunk: Asia-Pacific hyperscale data centre specialist with Australian facilities. Comparable in core colocation/wholesale data centre infrastructure, though AirTrunk is significantly larger and focused on hyperscale tenants.
• DXN Limited: ASX-listed Australian provider of modular and edge data centres, offering colocation and hosting. Closely comparable product offering, also relatively small in scale, focused on regional and edge deployments.
• Macquarie Data Centres: Operates the Macquarie Park and Intellicentre data centres in Australia, offering colocation, hosting, and connectivity. Closely comparable product set (colo + interconnect + managed services) and similar carrier-neutral positioning.
• Interactive: Australian managed services and cloud provider operating its own data centre facilities. Comparable mid-market Australian colocation and managed services positioning for business customers.

Broad incumbents

• Datacom: Trans-Tasman IT services and data centre provider (NZ-origin). Operates colocation facilities and offers managed services, overlapping with Colocity's bundled offering for mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Vocus Communications: Australian fibre and network operator that also operates data centre facilities. Comparable in that it combines colocation with carrier/IP transit services, but Vocus is much larger and broader in scope.
• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection giant with Australian presence (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth). Overlaps with Colocity's carrier-neutral interconnection model but at vastly greater scale and global footprint.
• Digital Realty: Global data centre operator with facilities in Sydney and Melbourne. Provides multi-tenant colocation, interconnection, and cloud connectivity — overlapping capability but a much broader global portfolio.

Emerging players

• 5G Networks (Aussie Broadband): Australian regional telco with colocation and data centre services, now part of Aussie Broadband. Comparable niche/regional carrier-and-colocation play, although emerging relative to the larger incumbents.
