Macquarie Data Centres has partnered with Dell Technologies to host Dell’s NVIDIA-powered AI Factory in its sovereign, government-grade facilities in Australia. The collaboration will allow Australian organisations to use artificial intelligence while meeting strict data security and sovereignty requirements.
The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA will be based in Macquarie’s upcoming IC3 Super West data centre, designed to support large-scale and high-power AI applications. The partnership brings together Dell’s expertise in AI infrastructure and Macquarie’s established sovereign facilities to support sectors with strong regulatory obligations such as healthcare, finance, education and research.
The facility will enable projects in enterprise AI, private AI and neo cloud, creating a secure foundation to build, train and deploy advanced applications including AI digital twins, agentic AI and private large language models.
The federal government has identified data centres as a key part of its Future Made in Australia policy to improve productivity and protect national digital sovereignty. Macquarie Data Centres CEO David Hirst said, “For Australia’s AI-driven future to be secure, we must ensure that Australian data centres play a core role in AI, data, infrastructure, and operations. Our collaboration with Dell Technologies delivers just that, the perfect marriage of global tech and sovereign infrastructure.”
The IC3 Super West facility is under construction at the Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus in northern Sydney. It will have 47MW capacity and is expected to be ready by mid-2026, with secured power to support both current and future AI workloads.
Jamie Humphrey, General Manager for Australia and New Zealand Specialty Platforms Sales at Dell Technologies, said, “Our work with Macquarie Data Centres helps bring the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA vision to life in Australia. Together, we are enabling organisations to develop and deploy AI as a transformative and competitive advantage in Australia in a way that is secure, sovereign and scalable.”
Macquarie Data Centres, part of Macquarie Technology Group, has a ten-year growth plan to help customers scale AI operations. The company has worked with Dell for over 15 years and is a certified Dell Titanium Partner, supporting mission-critical and government-grade workloads.
This initiative is expected to expand AI capabilities in Australia, offering highly regulated industries the infrastructure to develop and deploy AI technologies within national borders while meeting compliance requirements.
