It's great to be here, Alan.

But NextDC, Alan, is a builder of large-scale data centers all over the country.

We build metropolitan data centers in the cities that support hospitals and emergency services, defense, and other critical infrastructure, most like people would use every day for their online transactions.

But we also build these big hyperscale and artificial intelligence facilities that are supporting the next era or the fourth industrial revolution.

So the beginning of the build out of the new infrastructure that will support AI.

We build data centers all the way at the edge where submarine cables land in Australia, and they also support

ground telemetry stations for satellite support and many other applications in remote and regional areas.

And that's as remote as the Pilbara in Western Australia, all the way up to Darwin, the top of the country, and around each of the major cable landing station areas, the Sunshine Coast, Geelong and other locations.

So our business, Alan, is building the digital infrastructure that supports legacy computing, enterprise, banks, telcos,

We build for the biggest hyperscale operators in the world for cloud computing.

And we build for artificial intelligence, for GPUs and the production of knowledge.

How many people do you employ?

Today, the company's about 500 full-time employees and probably about 4,000 or 5,000 in contract roles.

So you've got development, construction, all of the other supply chain components to that.

So yeah, it's...

A large site, Alan, a large construction site has more than one to 1,100 people on site every day.

And we've got those going all over the country today.

Yeah, just recently, Alan, if you look at the scale of what we've announced in the last week, we had the single largest contract announcement in the company's history.

It was 250 megawatts of new computing capacity and power to support one of the world's largest hyperscalers that will deploy AI infrastructure in Australia.

To put the size of that contract into context,
