Data growth doesn't slow down. Traditional storage is expensive, difficult to scale, and increasingly complex to manage. It ties up your budget and your team’s valuable time.
Datacom’s Storage as a Service allows you tap into sovereign, private cloud storage while only paying for what you use. Instead of taking on the risk of purchasing hardware upfront, you can now pay per GB of storage consumed, easily increasing and decreasing as required.
StaaS simplifies your storage strategy with secure, cost-effective cloud storage solutions hosted right here in Australia and New Zealand, giving your business the performance, compliance, and control you need, without the cost or complexity of managing physical storage infrastructure yourself.
Every organisation has different storage needs. That’s why we offer flexible options to suit your performance, resilience and budget goals.
Not sure which one is right for you? Our team can help you assess your workloads and map the best mix of storage solutions to meet your growth, compliance, and recovery needs.
Choose this option when performance matters most. It’s ideal for databases, virtual machines, and other applications that need high IOPS, low latency, and reliable throughput. Your storage is isolated and backed by strict service-level guarantees.
This option is a great fit for backup, data archiving, analytics pipelines, and large volumes of unstructured data. It’s cost-effective, built to scale, and includes built-in immutability features to protect against tampering or ransomware.
Leverage powerful deduplication technologies to reduce the volume of stored data and storage costs. Ideal as a target for backup and archive use cases when paired with backup technologies.

Storage as a Service is designed to integrate seamlessly with your hybrid, private, or public cloud environment. Whether you're using AWS, Azure, or Datacom’s hosted platforms, your data storage stays connected and future-ready.
Keep latency-sensitive data close to your AWS or Azure compute instances while maintaining sovereign control, reducing egress costs and supporting compliance with local data residency requirements.
Dedicated Storage as a Service (DSTaaS)
There are two StaaS options for Datacom’s Australian and New Zealand customers. The first is a hosted shared service with no commitment and no maximum or minimum use terms. The second is a dedicated StaaS, deployed wherever you need it, with performance guarantees. For both options, you get a full managed storage service and your data remains onshore, ensuring local sovereignty and compliance. Infrastructure hardware is provided by Dell, one of the world’s leading enterprise-class storage providers.

Storage as a Service replaces traditional on-premises hardware storage with scalable, cloud-based data storage managed fully by Datacom. You benefit from clear, usage-based pricing and eliminate large upfront capital expenses.
Dedicated Storage as a Service (DSTaaS) is a scalable, consumption-based enterprise storage solution that provides access to Dell Technologies' industry-leading storage hardware. It allows you to use enterprise-class systems without large upfront investments or the need to predict future storage needs. DSTaaS eliminates the need to forecast capacity requirements. Storage scales dynamically, allowing you to expand or reduce capacity based on immediate needs.
STaaS (Storage as a Service) is a cloud computing model where a third-party provider hosts and manages your data storage infrastructure, allowing you to pay only for the capacity you use.
DSTaaS (Dedicated Storage as a Service) is a more specialised evolution of this model. It goes beyond simple capacity to offer dedicated hardware, localised sovereign hosting or a complete, managed data analytics platform.
Yes. All data is securely stored within Datacom’s local data centres in Australia and New Zealand, ensuring full compliance with local sovereignty and regulatory standards.
Our cloud storage meets strict compliance standards including IRAP PROTECTED, NZISM, and ISO27001. Immutable storage and automated compliance monitoring further strengthen data security.
Absolutely. Our STaaS solutions scale instantly, matching your exact storage needs at any given time. You pay only for the storage you actually use, allowing you to flexibly adapt as your data grows.
Datacom performs remote updates and patches in collaboration with your team. Scheduling is done to minimise disruption, and customers are notified in advance of any scheduled changes.
Cloud data storage refers to storing digital information on infrastructure hosted by a third party rather than on-premise servers. With Datacom’s Storage as a Service, your data is securely stored in sovereign Australian and New Zealand data centres, with options for high-performance, tiered, and immutable storage to suit your workloads, budget, and compliance needs.
Datacom stores all customer data in our certified data centres located across Australia and New Zealand. These facilities meet IRAP PROTECTED, NZISM, and ISO 27001 compliance standards, supporting your data in remaining sovereign, secure, and available.
Immutable storage means that once data is written, it cannot be changed or deleted until a defined retention period has passed. It’s a key defence against ransomware and accidental deletion. Datacom’s STaaS includes immutable storage options to protect your backups, archives, and critical datasets by default.
Block storage breaks files into blocks and stores them separately — ideal for databases and high-performance workloads. Object storage stores data as whole objects with metadata, making it well-suited for backup, media, or unstructured data. Datacom’s STaaS supports both models, giving you flexibility to match storage types with workload needs.
