CDC has differentiated itself by designing and building data centres that seamlessly accommodate
traditional enterprise, Government and Hyperscale clients all co-located within the same buildings
CDC operating model
Outsourcedto DC Providers
In-house
DC infrastructure provided by specialist vendorsin:
DC infrastructure typically
housed and managed in
customer owned facilities
(available for future outsourcing)
On-premise
⚫Customerowned andmanaged
⚫Typically in older facilities
⚫Limitedindustry certifications
⚫High capex requirement
⚫Inefficient
Traditional
Colocation Facilities
⚫Multi-tenant
⚫High PUE
⚫Low rack density (<5kW)
⚫Expensive upgrade path
⚫Traditional designs have facility
and property-driven limits on
weight, power & cooling
HyperscaleDC
⚫Low PUE
⚫Very large warehouse style

⚫High quality facilities (min Tier III)
⚫Hyperscale customer(s) within same campus or sharing the
same roof
⚫Enriched ecosystem of Government and cloud providers
⚫Network interconnection fabric
⚫Low PUE
⚫High rack density (up to 50 kW)
⚫Unique design: CDC has ICT-driven, reconfigurable modular
footprints that offer future flexibility as IT is refreshed in future,
making the facility lifespan longer for clients
CDC focus
9
CDC’s unique advantages enable a high level of differentiation and are highly defensible
Key differentiators
Dual Sites: Back up & disaster recovery
⚫CDC is treating Canberra and Sydney as a logical
extension of one another, enabling seamless
workload distribution between the two cities without
charging extravagant interconnect/transfer fees to
customers
⚫This is unique amongst competitors and very
attractive to Federal Government agencies and NCI
clients
Data sovereignty and highest level of
security classification
⚫High security standards are non-negotiable
elements in the Government and NCI customer
purchasing criteria. Many NCI customers have
regulatory obligations around data sovereignty
(e.g. utility customers)
⚫CDC is the only provider of significant scale in
Canberra and Sydney that is ‘built for Top Secret’
and accredited for ‘Secret’ whilst also offering
ICON connectivity in Canberra
Hybrid Cloud Co-location Ecosystem
Whilst close competitors mostly provide either public
cloud or colocation DC services, CDC has private and
public cloud as well as Government and enterprise all
co-located under a shared roof
CDC enables Government and enterprise to connect to
cloud providers, or one another, without their data having
to leave the data centre. This improves security and
performance and removes costly telecommunication
overheads
Trusted Relationships with Government &
Cloud Providers
CDC have demonstrated strong Government relationships
and increasing credibility with public cloud providers.
Few competitors can match this across Government and
public cloud provider customers
Future Proof Technology:
modular DC and availability
⚫CDC DCs are designed with granular modularity to
the rack level across the entire DC architecture
providing future proof flexibility
⚫CDC can increase power supply to customer's
existing footprint at minimal cost to CDC, and with
no disruptions to the customer, unlike competitors
who only offer row or hall upgrades which come at a
significant cost to the customer
⚫“Pay as you go, Pay as you grow” structure
⚫Only DC provider to offer 100% availability

CDC is well placed to deliver on the Australian
Whole of Government Hosting Strategy (announced
March 2019)
Government DC consolidation is stimulating
demand among third party, flexible, multi-tenant
DCs that can offer hybrid computing outcomes, with
CDC the best placed operator in Canberra
CDC’s sales strategy is customer-centric, with
senior sales staff meeting with clients on a regular
basis to understand upcoming requirements
The strategy provides a framework to strengthen
data sovereignty, supply chain and data ownership
provisions
CDC’s membership of a whole-of-Government
panel enables the company to submit tenders to
individual Government departments in accordance
with panel set pricing
Estimated 20-28% CAGR segment growth outlook
2
Driven by the growth of cloud migration, artificial
intelligence and machine learning, High
Performance Computing research, biometric
security, etc all of which necessitate secure, 24/7
availability and rapid delivery of data
The ecosystem effect of CDC’s DC campus
networks brings intangible benefits to global
Hyperscale customers by optimising data transit,
security and performance between their hosted
clients
Sophisticated clients who understand their needs
and infrastructure requirements now and in future,
making an ideal partner to collaborate on growth
and expansion
Negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis
according to client’s design and MW capacity needs
over the short, medium and long term
Estimated 12-15% CAGR segment growth outlook
2
Providers of NCI are increasingly questioning the
viability of retaining their own DCs and in-house DC
costs, and instead looking to outsource the storage
and security of their data to third parties particularly
as regulatory obligations around data sovereignty
and security have increased
NCI organisations have an obligation to share
sensitive data with Government agencies, which is
facilitated with lower latency and cost for NCI’s
within CDC’s ‘ecosystem’ model
CDC’s unique approach to designing and building
facilitates bespoke fit-outs that can accommodate
the co-location of an NCI’s existing legacy systems,
new cloud storage servers, and security benefits
Negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis
according to client’s design and MW capacity needs
over the short, medium and long term
Position
Combination of small, private and large-scale
bespoke data halls and co-location model,
depending on size and security-level of the client
Construction of large-scale bespoke data halls for
use by a single Hyperscale provider
Fit-out of data halls is fully-underwritten, with work
only beginning after contract signing
Co-location model, with customers typically
purchasing pods within data halls

Several long-term drivers underpin growth in the data centre market. The hyperscale DC segment
is expected to grow at twice the pace of traditional DCs
Source: Industry report
Market Growth Drivers
Traditional Data CentresHyperscale Data Centres
Shared growth drivers
Continuing, robust data growth, on average, 25% p.a., with certain industries growing at a faster rate
Continued digitisation of business operations
Increasing degree of “mission criticality” (i.e. 24-7 organisations wanting highly available data centres)
“Always on” consumers driving growth in digital content, including streaming
Commencement of the 5G rollout, underpinned by virtualisation of telco infrastructure
Data sovereignty requirements driving onshore development of DCs in Australia
Geo-politically, Australia is an attractive location to invest (e.g. strong rule of law, political / social predictability)
Canberra is set to become the first city outside Europe to source 100 per cent of its electricity needs from
renewables, potentially a preferred destination for backup and disaster recovery
Unique growth drivers
Higher propensity to outsource DC services
Adoption of hyperconverged infrastructure
Increasing cloud adoption
Increase in cloud based workloads from AI, machine learning
and IoT
Australia is an attractive location for the broader regional DR
strategy of public cloud providers
Increase in number of global cloud
provider availability regions / zones

CDC has developed a strong track record of delivery and a world class build strategy
Development philosophy
⚫Design and construct timeframe is circa 12 months for new data centre builds
⚫Once the surrounding campus infrastructure is completed, the fit-out of the individual DC facilities (Phase 2) is much faster
⚫This enables CDC to develop new sites within a sufficient timeframe to meet different customers’ growth expectations
⚫CDC leverages close relationships with its clients to pre-empt demand and ensure the relevant capex is deployed at the right time
⚫Given the changing nature of Hyperscale and Government contracts, the separation of Phase 2 (fit-out) enables CDC to submit bespoke
tender responses that meet clients’ specific operational and financial requirements; avoiding a retro-fit of pre-built and designed facilities to
client tenders
Highlights
Phase 2: Fit-out
Only once a customer has signed the SLA, fit-out of the data
hall begins
Consequentially, the capex to fund this expansion phase of
growth is fully-underwritten by customers
CDC’s modular design enables data halls to be scaled
incrementally
Lower commercial risk: secured by client contracts
Lower technical risk: smaller fit-out, repeatable builds on which
CDC obtains fixed-pricing
Phase 1: Land Acquisition & Build (‘Build’)
CDC acquires land at strategic locations based on proximity to power supply
and critical infrastructure
Significant site assessment and risk management diligence
Following a build-ahead strategy, the building structure, initial infrastructure
and communications connectivity are installed
18
FY20 is progressing well; delivering developments, securing new customers and providing the
foundation for future growth
•Bring 24MW+ capacity to income producing –On track

Introduction to data centres
C
24
A data centre is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, it
can be insourced or outsourced
A data centre’s main purpose is holding and running IT systems that handle
the core business and operational data of an organisation (e.g. its data, mail
services, applications).
Key Infrastructure
Insourced vs. outsourced
Insourced:
-an organisation builds, operates and manages its own data
centre
-advantages include full control over data and applications
-disadvantages include increased operating and personnel
costs and lower system reliability
Outsourced:
-an organisation leases space and/or hosting services from
an external data centre provider
-advantages include lower operating cost, reduction in
required in-house expertise and higher system reliability
-electricity costs are passed on to the customer (c.$1k /
month / rack*)
-organisations may incur significantly lower electricity costs
through outsourcing as the power usage effectiveness (PUE)
ratios of colocation specialists tend to be far lower than those
of insourced DCs
-disadvantages include reduced perceived control over
system
Data Centre 101

DCs are dedicated, secure locations that house IT hardware (servers) and provide the power,

Key beliefs about transformation
Characteristics of successful transformations
1.You can achieve substantial, 20%+ cost reduction through
a holistic transformation approach.
2.However, you can’t cost-cut your way to greatness.
3.Execution is critical.
4.“Business-as-usual” people and processes won’t deliver
significant change.
5.Mindsets and behaviours matter.
6.Leadership is critical.
$35m savings were delivered in FY19.

Q & A
Investor Day –Juliet Jones
A stable and predictable operating environment
Relatively stable regulatory settings
37
•Market regulation has been predictable and in line with
international experiences
•National roaming and mobile co-location regulated on a
non-price basis
•Cost-based mobile termination rates
•The Commerce Commission annual report highlighted
healthy competition and investment in the mobile market
•Mobile market review undertaken by regulator found no
need to regulate wholesale access.
Mature legislative framework
Amendments to laws passed in 2018
38
•Amendments to the Telecommunications Act 2001 were
passed in November 2018, covering:
•Defined process to set regulated fibre pricing for “last
mile” fixed access infrastructure post 2022
•Additional consumer safeguards
•Regulatory oversight of the quality of retail services
•Rapid responses to any competition issues
•Chorus continues to have requirement to unbundle its UFB
network with LFCs expected to follow
Spectrum matters
History of stable renewal processes for spectrum
39
•Renewal process for rights in 1800/2100MHz which expire in 2021
•2x20 MHz 1800MHz for renewal, cut back by 2x5 MHz
•Vodafone to be offered full 2x25 MHz 2100MHz renewal
•Government will consider requests to swap 2100 MHz instead of 1800 MHz
•Auction of 3.5GHz spectrum faces continued delays
•Cabinet paper suggests 80MHz sufficient for each mobile network operator
•Subject to separate decisions around Maori rights under Treaty of Waitangi
•Auction late 2020or early 2021 with 20 year rights from November 2022
•Consultation on design, rollout requirements and cap will occur later in 2019
•MBIE is exploring early commercial access due to auction delay and has issued
an Expression of Interest to acquire temporary rights
