NEXTDC said that it continually enhances its leadership in the Australian domestic market by capitalising on the industry’s growing data centre infrastructure demands through its customer-centric approach. NEXTDC has a broad ecosystem to fulfill its customers’ demands and help them grow their businesses as smoothly as possible.
