SUMMARY:WA Space Forum | NEXTDC P2 Data Centre Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA Space Forum for a behind-the-scenes tour of NEXTDC’s P2 data centre in East Perth and an opportunity to explore the critical digital infrastructure supporting Australia’s increasingly connected economy and its growing space ecosystem.\nSatellites may operate hundreds or thousands of kilometres above us\, but much of the value they create ultimately comes back to Earth as data. \nFrom Earth observation and remote sensing to satellite communications\, positioning\, space domain awareness and increasingly AI-driven analysis\, the space industry relies on infrastructure capable of receiving\, moving\, processing\, storing and protecting enormous volumes of information. \nWe’ll head inside NEXTDC P2 to get a closer look at some of the physical infrastructure sitting behind that digital ecosystem and explore how data centres fit into the broader space-to-ground value chain. \nIt’s an opportunity to connect some of industry’s biggest conversations — AI\, digitalisation and big data — with the infrastructure that helps make them possible.
