It all started 10 years ago in Perth, Western Australia, with an idea to solve IT difficulties on remote mine sites. Recognising that fixed server room infrastructure was costly, inefficient and difficult to scale and had limited monitoring, Angie and Clinton Keeler founded Zella DC, a new generation of micro data centres.
Remote mine sites had long been the toughest locations for IT data centres. Both Angie and Clinton knew that if they could nail the data centre out on the mine site, they’d have a solution that could work anywhere on earth.

With the products moulded, developed and optimised on mine sites, Zella DC expanded into government, defence and pharmaceutical applications, where Zella DC’s high standards of health and safety, certifications, reliability and cyber-security could be further utilised.
Zella DC has now secured a number of global enterprise accounts that will see their micro data centres deployed in six continents across a wide range of industries and global organisations, including:
