Data Centre Colocation Rack Space.
OCDC is OMNIconnect’s own data centre located in Melbourne’s South East, offering some of Australia’s most affordable colocation rack space.
OCDC.
Colocation Data Centre Disrupter.
OMNIconnect’s Data Centre (OCDC) isn’t Melbourne’s biggest, most publicised or centrally located colocation data centre…. but we believe that’s a good thing! If you are looking for value for money, flexibility, discretion and a location 35km outside Melbourne’s CBD ‘Risk Zone’ to colocate critical servers and data, then a big, well known CBD data centre is probably not for you – and that’s where we can help.

Cloud Virtual Private Servers.
You don’t need to own a data centre or even a server to host applications, web or gaming servers. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) means you can let us worry about all that. Virtual Private Servers are just like your own physical server, but they allow you to leverage off our infrastructure and add more resources as you require.
OMNIconnect uses super-fast Nimble storage with some of the fastest disk storage available today.
- Traditional Storage IOPS 1%

Colocation Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Colocation?
Colocation is essentially data centre space for your own servers, switches, firewall and storage devices – your equipment, hosted in our data centre. This allows your equipment to be connected to a super fast internet connection and have the assurance of uninterrupted data and power connectivity.
remote hands
Access to your equipment can be arranged by sending an email to support@omniconnect.com.au, visiting our support portal, or calling our support line 1300 662 457 and requesting Escorted Access, stating who will be attending, what rack requires access, and the time and date. Unless After Hours Escorted Access is included in your plan, access outside of business hours is charged and detailed in our Support Charges support page. More information can be found in our OCDC Access and Work Guidelines
How is power charged?
Power is charged as a monthly average of power used at the rate of $33/100 watts (or part there of) and overages at $66/100 watts (or part there of) – exclusive of GST. You may purchase colocation with metered power which means that you will be charged for all power used in your rack(s), or power can be included in your rack(s). In both cases however, you are limited to the ‘maximum power’ allocation you have purchased.
What internet connection options do you offer?
We offer both Usage Based billing (Pre-Paid Data Packs, per KB/MB/GB/TB) and Bandwidth Based billing (per Mbps).
Usage Based: By default, our colocation comes with an internet connected port with Usage Based or Pre-Paid Data Packs billing. Under this option data is metered (inbound & outbound), and offered in discounted pre-paid data packs (e.g. 250GB/1TB/5TB data packs). Although not dedicated bandwidth, internet connectivity is via our fast shared aggregated upstreams.
Bandwidth Based: This is an unlimited data option, and the amount of dedicated bandwidth is purchased. We guarantee the bandwidth purchased and offer the option of ’95th Percentile Billing’ that allows for bursts up to double the purchased bandwidth.
Can I have my own ISP, Carrier or Cross Connect to another customer connected to my rack?
Yes, you can do this by ordering a ‘Cross Connect’ at the time of ordering or upgrading your service. If you would like to bring an alternative carrier or ISP service into your rack, please choose the ‘Carrier Cross Connect’ option, or alternatively you can connect using a standard ‘Cross Connect’.
How Do I Backup my Colocated Servers?
There are a number of ways you can backup your colocated servers… We can rotate an external drive for you and if required, ship them to you. Some choose to have 2 or 3 drives – one attached to the server, one in transit, and one in their possession. Although we do charge for sending and receiving packages, the connecting and disconnecting drives is covered under ‘Remote Hands’ (see the Support Charges page for details). Alternatively, we can take care of your backups using our managed backup service.
