Avoid common mistakes in building data centers in remote areas, such as in the Pacific Islands, and consider key constraints which will affect your infrastructure’s final design, size, staging, and delivery method. Even your army of prime international engineers won’t get your Business Case; and to be fair, this is a generalist’s, or traditional Architect’s job!.. So we have cracked the code for you, and explain how our 2N+1 team structure is so effective.

In recent years, Australia has witnessed a growing palette of lifestyle retirement living and aged care options. Theme-based options such as golf course, cruise-ship retirement, and newer types of inner-city lifestyle living. We asked what is missing in the current model, and how to create communities or places of belonging in the urban context. We identified the following 5 key design drivers: 1) Inter-generational Interaction, 2) Connection to Context, 3) Inclusivity, 4) Flexibility, 5) Proximity.
Our Trends and Market predictions for Retirement Living & Aged Care Design in 2019, as presented at our Sydney Health and Aged Care Press Media Briefing, on 12 November 2018: 1) Non-for-profits are back! 2) Volume and momentum both pick up but are inconsistent, 3) Quality is a concern, 4) Aged Care professionals are on trend to become rare, 5) Tech makes a big entrance in the Retirement Living and Aged care space, and 6) Specialist providers are thriving.
With the growing compute requirements and the increase in power consumption for the latest generation of hardware, is there space remaining for smaller or niche data centers?
We think that not all data centers have to be the same, and that even smaller facilities, or those located in the heart of the central business districts, offer distinctive value that allows them to thrive.
Looking forward to presenting our thoughts on ACP remediation this 20-21 November, at the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, in beautiful Sydney.

There are four key principles that drive design and urbanism which also seem to apply to various data centre types. The first is centralised versus decentralised power. Think of the powerful but centralised Roman Empire versus the smaller but rich and highly networked Greek Empire. Throughout history, it appears that mankind has continuously alternated between centralised and decentralised structures.
While aged care homes are nothing new, designing and building facilities specifically for elderly people with dementia requires a different approach. Everything from floor plans and facilities to lighting and signage must be carefully considered. Our aim with Dementia Aged Care design is to create a facility that feels like a home.
Looking forward to co-sharing a panel today with Glenn Allan of NAB, Prof Prof Ian Bitterlin, Simon Cooper of NextDC, and Tony Gaunt of Vertiv Asia. See you at the Data Center Dynamics Sydney 2018.

An increasing numbers of organisations’ Business Case are seeing merit in keeping some or all of their data and or computing closer to their CBD locations. They’re keen to take advantage of resources that, rather than being in some far-flung suburb, are actually within the CBD itself. The pendulum is now starting to swing the other way.
