What Palmerston North allows

The data center listed in Palmerston North is operated by Advantage Computers Ltd. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one.

Connectivity from Palmerston North

3 networks are listed at the sites in Palmerston North according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works.

Compliance and sovereignty

Note: operation falls under a US-jurisdiction company, hence under the CLOUD Act. Hosting in Europe is not enough to escape it: what counts is the provider's nationality, not the building's address.

The electricity behind Palmerston North

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Palmerston North are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 54.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 54.8%, geothermal and other renewables 21.8%, wind 9.7%, natural gas 8.9%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.5%, bioenergy 1.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 11.5% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 93 g of CO2, i.e. 4.9 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 3.3 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Palmerston North

Since 1970, 39 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Palmerston North, and 170 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 6.5 in 2013, 184 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Palmerston North does not allow

With a single listed site, Palmerston North cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
