Macquarie Data Centres, part of Macquarie Telecom Group, has signed a multi-year deal with Australian sustainable data centre company ResetData.

The partnership will see Submer cooling technology used in Australia for the first time, exclusively. Compared with traditional water- and air-cooling technologies, Submer’s immersion cooling can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 45% and creates zero wastewater. It also reduces the physical footprint by up to 90%, and the heat generated by the infrastructure can be 99% recycled. Globally, Submer has partnered with tech giants such as Intel and Dell.

ResetData will provide disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) housed in Macquarie Data Centre’s sovereign facilities. The company is targeting growth within government, gaming, video production, rendering and other data-heavy industries needing to balance cost, environmental concerns and fast-rising compute needs.

Macquarie Data Centres Group Executive David Hirst said the partnership with ResetData made it possible for increasingly important technologies such as GPUaaS to drive Australia’s digital economy: “It’s good to see how technologies come to market which enables the digital applications of the future.”
