Equinix SY1 is the operator's Sydney IBX at 639 Gardeners Road, Unit B, in the Mascot area near the central business district. Equinix highlights access to the Southern Cross Cable Head landing station and positions the site as a network interconnection point for Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The facility is a two-storey pre-cast concrete building with 3,088 m² (33,239 ft²) of colocation space and adequate on-site parking. Published specifications list N+1 UPS and cooling redundancy, a single generator with 30 hours or more of autonomy at full load, a 2 kVA minimum cabinet density, 240/415 V distribution and double-interlock pre-action fire suppression. Sustainability notes cover grid renewables backed by Australian LGCs, native plantings, EV chargers, high-efficiency UPS and hot/cold aisle containment. Site power capacity is not disclosed, and the operator's floor-load figure for the raised floor looks inconsistent, so it is not repeated here.
