HP opens Sydney data centre
The computing giant officially launched the first phase of the facility, based in Sydney's west, this week, offering 2500 square metres of technical floorspace to tenants including Origin Energy, Downer and Elders Australia.

Downer's transition to HP data centres as well comes as part of a major outsourcing deal late last year, which the company hoped to use to yield $250 million savings across the business over five years.
