What is “cdc.com”

• The domain cdc.com belongs to CDC Data Centres, a company that builds and operates large-scale, secure data-center facilities across Australia and New Zealand. (CDC Data Centres)

• The company describes itself as a “developer, owner and operator of sovereign, highly secure and connected large-scale data centres.” (CDC Data Centres)

• Their services target “public and private sector” clients needing high-security, scalable, and sustainable hosting infrastructure — from enterprise systems to AI and supercomputing workloads. (CDC Data Centres)

So if you visit cdc.com, you are looking at a data-infrastructure company, not a health agency.

How “CDC Data Centres” presents itself

CDC Data Centres markets several features prominently:

• Security & sovereignty — facilities are described as “certified to the highest levels of security.” (CDC Data Centres)

• Scalability and flexibility — modular, customizable solutions to support different workloads, from legacy systems to high-performance computing and AI. (CDC Data Centres)

• Reliability / availability — they guarantee high uptime and redundant hi-speed networks to ensure business continuity. (CDC Data Centres)

• Sustainable operations — they aim for energy-efficient, environmentally responsible data centers. (CDC Data Centres)

• Support for advanced workloads — including AI/supercomputing, quantum-ready systems, and large-scale digital infrastructure. (CDC Data Centres)

The site highlights that their infrastructure supports “the critical data and digital infrastructure that underpins security, social and economic wellbeing.” (CDC Data Centres)

Why the confusion with “CDC”

Many people know “CDC” as the abbreviation for the American public health agency (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Because acronyms overlap, cdc.com can easily be mistaken for the health-oriented agency.

• For the health agency, the official web presence is on a “.gov” domain (e.g. cdc.gov). (CDC)

• The “.com” version — cdc.com — has nothing to do with that agency. It belongs entirely to the data-centre operator described above.

In other words: CDC (health agency) ≠ CDC (data-centre operator). They are completely different organizations operating in different domains.

What the real CDC (health agency) is

For clarity: the health-agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (often referred to as “CDC”) is a U.S. federal public-health institution. (Wikipedia)

• Its mission: protect public health through disease surveillance, prevention, control, and providing health guidance and data to the public. (CDC)

• It covers a broad scope: infectious diseases, chronic diseases, injury prevention, environmental health, immunization, global health collaboration, health statistics — all aimed at safeguarding population health. (Wikipedia)

• Its online presence and official communications are under “cdc.gov.” (CDC)

Key difference: Data infrastructure vs Public Health

Organization	Domain / Website	Primary Focus
CDC Data Centres	cdc.com	Data-centre infrastructure (hosting, secure data storage, AI/supercomputing support)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	cdc.gov	Public health, disease prevention, health data, medical guidance, research

If you were expecting public-health advice, disease info, global health data, etc., the relevant site is cdc.gov — not cdc.com.

Key Takeaways

• cdc.com refers to a private company specializing in data-centre operations in Australia / New Zealand, not a health agency.

• Despite sharing the acronym “CDC,” the two “CDCs” are unrelated.

• The public-health organization’s official domain is cdc.gov — that’s the one to turn to for health guidance, disease data, and research.

• Always check the domain extension (.com vs .gov) to confirm whether you are dealing with a commercial entity or a governmental public-health institution.
