DATACOM'S SIXTH ANNUAL CLOUD REPORT
Datacom’s 2025 Cloud and Infrastructure Report draws on primary research from more than 500 organisations across Australia and New Zealand to explore whether cloud is delivering returns and what is needed to build greater digital resilience.
Now in its sixth year and produced with Tech Research Asia, it is one of Australasia’s largest longitudinal studies of cloud adoption and provides practical insights for New Zealand leaders planning their next phase of cloud investment.

Cloud services are computing resources such as infrastructure, platforms or software delivered over the internet instead of from your own servers. They let you run applications, store data and deliver digital experiences using shared, scalable platforms managed by providers like Datacom and leading public clouds.
For Australian organisations, cloud services range from public cloud (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) to private, hybrid and sovereign cloud platforms hosted in certified local data centres.
Cloud services can be public, private, hybrid or sovereign, and they are designed to improve agility, resilience, security and cost‑efficiency compared to traditional on‑premises environments.
Unmanaged cloud services give you raw cloud infrastructure and tools, but your internal teams remain responsible for design, configuration, security, monitoring and optimisation. Managed cloud services from Datacom add 24/7 operations, incident response, backup and recovery, cost optimisation and security management, so you get enterprise‑grade outcomes without carrying all the operational burden.
Most Australian organisations choose managed or co‑managed models so they can focus on customers and innovation while Datacom manages day‑to‑day cloud operations, compliance and optimisation across public, hybrid and sovereign environments.
A cloud migration can take anywhere from a few weeks for a small, well‑defined workload to many months for complex application portfolios and multi‑site environments. The timeline depends on factors such as the number of applications, integration complexity, data volumes, compliance needs and how much modernisation you do during the move.
Datacom uses a multistage Cloud Adoption Framework and structured migration approaches, often supported by programmes such as Microsoft’s Azure Migration and Modernisation Program (AMMP) and Amazon’s Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), to assess readiness, plan the roadmap and accelerate migrations while maintaining stability.
Many migrations can be delivered in under 90 days using Datacom’s proven frameworks.
Hybrid cloud combines combines private or on‑premises infrastructure with public cloud services, allowing you to keep sensitive or latency‑critical workloads close while using public cloud for scale and innovation. This helps Australian organisations balance performance, compliance, data residency and cost.
Multi‑cloud means using services from more than one public cloud provider, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, often for best‑of‑breed capabilities or resilience. Datacom designs and operates hybrid and multi‑cloud environments, including sovereign cloud, so they remain secure, manageable and cost‑effective.
Where your data is stored depends on your chosen platforms, regions and sovereignty requirements. Datacom stores customer data on certified data centre infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand for its own sovereign and private cloud services, helping organisations keep data and digital assets within local jurisdiction.
When using public cloud, Datacom helps you select appropriate regions, and apply controls so workloads meet Australian data‑residency, security and compliance expectations.
Enterprise‑grade cloud services in Australia are provided by partners that combine certified expertise, secure local infrastructure and strong relationships with hyperscale clouds. Datacom is one of these providers, underpinned by years of cloud implementation, migration and operations experience, delivering cloud migration, managed services, hybrid and sovereign cloud, and AI‑enabled innovation for Australian enterprises and government agencies.
Local Australian cloud support means your partner understands Australian regulations, industry frameworks and data‑sovereignty expectations, which reduces risk and speeds up governance and decision‑making. Local teams can respond in the same time zone, coordinate on‑site activities and align cloud roadmaps with Australian connectivity, labour market and industry conditions.
Datacom combines this local presence with A/NZ‑based sovereign platforms and global cloud partnerships, so Australian organisations get enterprise‑grade expertise, 24/7 operations and practical support for their teams throughout cloud adoption and ongoing operations.
Australian organisations should look for a provider with proven experience in similar industries, strong security and compliance credentials, local data‑residency options and the ability to support public, hybrid and sovereign cloud. It is also critical to evaluate their managed services capability, FinOps practices, incident response model, automation maturity and approach to governance and operating‑model design.
Datacom’s Cloud Adoption Framework, sovereign cloud designation and partnerships with hyperscalers such as Microsoft, AWS and Google allow Australian customers to align cloud platforms and operating models with business goals while meeting regulatory and resilience requirements.
Datacom managed cloud services and solutions provide end‑to‑end management of cloud environments across public, private, hybrid and sovereign platforms for Australian organisations. Services include 24/7 monitoring, service desk, incident and problem management, patching, backup and disaster recovery, security operations and ongoing performance and cost optimisation using FinOps and governance frameworks.
These services are built on Datacom’s Cloud Adoption Framework and multi‑cloud expertise, ensuring workloads are moved to the right platforms, configured according to best practices and run efficiently once they are there. This enables customers to reduce risk and operational overhead while focusing on innovation and core business outcomes.
For Australian organisations, Datacom’s cloud consulting and advisory services are anchored in an in‑house Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) that blends local experience with global best practices from the Open Alliance for Cloud Adoption and the Microsoft, AWS and Google cloud adoption frameworks. This ensures cloud strategies are aligned with business goals and can be reused across Azure, AWS or hybrid projects.
Consulting typically includes cloud readiness assessments, multi‑cloud strategy and roadmap development, cloud governance and operating‑model design, and cloud security and compliance strategies. Datacom’s CAF has helped achieve Azure Expert MSP and AWS MSP‑level capabilities, giving our customers access to programmes such as AMMP and MAP to help fund and accelerate cloud adoption and modernisation.
