Region. Fujitsu seeks space in the region

IT services powerhouse, Fujitsu, is studying areas of Western Sydney in the hunt for real estate boasting sufficient power to build a new data centre, as its existing Homebush facility is "essentially full”. Fujitsu, CEO, Rod Vawdrey, said the company has to weigh up the availability of power - which the Sydney CBD lacks - with an area that offers cooler temperatures, should Fujitsu look to new 'free cooling' power reduction designs, as it is in Melbourne and Perth. He said he believed parts of Western Sydney offered these conditions.
