Colocation in Hobart
Colocation in Hobart at a glance
Hobart is the smallest capital-city data centre market in Australia, but for Tasmanian businesses it means keeping infrastructure close to home. DChunt's facility map lists 5 data centres in Hobart. This page covers what is there and how to decide whether it fits.
Hobart data centre facilities and operators
The DChunt map lists 5 Hobart facilities from 4 operators: 42-24 (2 sites), DXN Limited (Tasmania One), TasmaNet (DC1) and Vocus Communications. Elsewhere in Tasmania, our map also lists facilities around Launceston and Burnie, which may be worth considering if you need a second site in the state. You can see every site on the Hobart map view (/map?city=Hobart) and read operator profiles in the provider directory (/providers). Facility lists change often, so confirm the specific site and its capabilities with the operator before you decide.

Facility names in our data include 42-24's sites at Cambridge and Derwent Park. Check the Hobart map view for the rest.
Connectivity
DChunt's coverage page describes Hobart's connectivity as limited and dependent on links to the mainland. That makes it important to understand how each facility connects off the island and what happens if a link fails. Our connectivity guide (/learn/connectivity-choices-explained) explains the basics.
Who colocation in Hobart suits
Hobart suits Tasmanian businesses and government, and organisations that want a quiet disaster recovery location. DChunt's coverage page also points to cool-climate efficiency and renewable energy supply. If sustainability claims matter to you, our guide to checking green data centre claims (/learn/green-data-centres-australia-check-the-claims) shows what evidence to ask for.
What does colocation cost in Hobart?
DChunt's coverage page lists an indicative range of $1,500 - $2,800 per full rack per month in Hobart. Treat that as a rough guide only, not a quote: real pricing depends on power draw, contract term, space type and connectivity. Our cost guide (/learn/how-much-does-colocation-cost-australia) breaks down what goes into a colocation bill.
How to choose a Hobart data centre
Start with where your users and staff are. If most of them are in or near Hobart, a local facility keeps latency low and makes site visits easy. Then work out your power need per rack in kW, because that narrows the list faster than anything else; our guide to power, feeds and redundancy (/learn/data-centre-power-kw-feeds-redundancy) explains how to estimate it. Next, check which carriers and cloud on-ramps are actually present in the specific building, not just the city, and ask how cross connects are priced (/learn/cross-connects-made-simple). Confirm the support model too: if you won't have staff on site, remote hands terms matter (/learn/remote-hands-data-centre-support). With so few operators, compare all of them and ask about growth room and contract flexibility. Shortlist two or three sites on the map, line them up side by side with the comparison tool (/compare), and use the first-time buyer's checklist (/learn/first-time-data-centre-buyers-checklist) before you request quotes.
