Datacom marks Kapua’s decade of data in Hamilton
With its Kapua data centre reaching ten years in Kirkiriroa (Hamilton), Datacom and the local community are celebrating the site's wide-ranging impact that goes beyond the expected.
Datacom owns and operates four New Zealand data centres, which were designed and built in strategic locations around the country. Datacom’s expert team also delivers services from AirTrunk's world-class SYD1 (Sydney) and MEL1 (Melbourne) hyperscale facilities.
“Even though our data centres provide critical support for hundreds of businesses and host the servers and computing equipment that organisations rely on to run their operations, website and applications, and to serve their customers, most people have never been inside a data centre,” says Andrew Green, Data Centres Director for Datacom.
“We’ve created a 360° virtual tour of our Kapua data centre so people can take a look inside our largest capacity data centre for themselves, understand how it operates and see the layers of security that exist to protect the critical assets and data we look after.”
Datacom’s Kapua data centre – kapua means “cloud” in Te Reo Māori – is located on the northern fringe of Hamilton and has the capacity to grow to 1500+ racks and 14MW of useable power. The size of the facility makes Kapua ideal for cloud computing or high-density workloads enterprise businesses.
Existing customers in Datacom’s data centres span industries from international cloud and telecommunication providers, government departments, enterprise companies, major banks and financial organisations, and a range of IT service providers.
Datacom provides high secure, reliable and scalable colocation data centre services across New Zealand and Australia, that can be customised to meet your changing needs. Our New Zealand Data Centres have independent Toitu certification for its use of 100 percent renewable energy sources, powered by Mercury.
