Secure, scalable, and award-winning data centre services for your critical IT infrastructure.

Datacom has been delivering data centre solutions that meet our customers' bespoke and changing needs for more than 30 years.  We own, design, build, manage, and operate all four of our New Zealand data centres. We also offer co-location facilities with AirTrunk in Australia. We house some of the most critical data in New Zealand and Australia. This includes data from large-scale commercial operations, government agencies, banks, and small businesses. No matter your business size or needs, we'll partner with you to provide a flexible, secure, and scalable solution. 

We understand how important what we do is for you and for your customers, so we'll never ask you for a scheduled outage. We live and work in the communities in which our data centres operate, and we're confident our facilities can deliver everything you ask of them — now and into the future.

Pay for what you use

Many data centre providers require you to predict your power usage for the life of your contract and then penalises you when you get it wrong, leading to cost blow outs over the long-term.

We only charge you for what you use and offer you the flexibility to change your requirements without penalty, as your business needs do. We think it’s fairer that way!

We’ve put together the following guide to help you better understand data centre pricing. It also highlights everything you get as part of our on-consumption, flexible pricing model.
