Classic Blue opens Adelaide business recovery centre

Classic Blue’s latest recovery centre has been officially opened by the South Australian Minister for Infrastructure, Energy, and Emergency Services, The Hon Patrick Conlon MP. With existing centres in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, the Adelaide centre is Classic Blue’s fourth, providing a truly national reach.

Classic Blue purchased the data centre from the St George Bank in September 2003. It was built in the 1980s for the State Bank at a cost of more than $25 million. Since then it has housed EDS, BankSA, and St George.

According to Classic Blue’s managing director, Adrian Bogatez, the Adelaide centre provides SA and WA with a previously unavailable service. “Traditionally, South Australia and Western Australia had to seek business recovery services on the east coast. Now they have a state-of-the-art recovery centre right on their doorstep.”

The new centre accommodates a fully equipped alternate work environment for more than 300 people and provides extensive computing and communications facilities.
