Survey digital infrastructure around data centres

Data centres have precise locations; the internet around them is measurable. Matching a public data-centre map to KASPR district measurement gives, for every facility, the connectivity, latency and jitter of the ground it sits on — and a record of when that ground failed.

Case one — the survey

The connectivity around every facility

Every data centre resolves to a district KASPR already measures. Across six Australian metros — 112 facilities and 95 operators — the current picture is each district's connectivity index against a baseline of 100, its round-trip latency and jitter, and its record of past connectivity anomalies.

Most metros sit above baseline. Fyshwick, the Canberra data-centre district, is the exception: its index sits near 70, below baseline, with 84 recorded anomalies. A survey like this ranks facilities by the resilience of the network around them, not the specification of the site.

Case two — the alert

An anomaly at the facility, in near real time

The same measurement runs live. When a district’s connectivity index breaks its expected range, the Alerts layer records an anomaly with a start time — within the measurement cadence, not after a status-page update.

South Brisbane holds 22 data centres. Its connectivity index has broken below baseline repeatedly, and the deepest anomaly cut it by almost its whole value. An alert on that district reaches every facility in it at once.

Monthly index against a baseline of 100. The dashed line is the alert threshold; shaded months breach it; the marked point is the deepest anomaly.

The two layers behind the map

Regional Intelligence

The connectivity index, latency, jitter and anomaly record for the district under every facility are the Regional Intelligence layer, by district and month.

Alerts

The live layer: connectivity and latency anomalies detected in near real time, with timestamps — the trigger for a facility-area alert.
