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.

Delivering one of the region’s biggest data centre projects, with the goal of upgrading capacity without disrupting customer access, makes Datacom's data centres in New Zealand unique.

Always-on service availability

Availability is all about your systems being up and running with no outages. We achieve this with industry-leading maintenance processes and comprehensive system testing.

Flexible and scalable

We offer rack solutions in many sizes, and we can accommodate your requirements, large or small. You don't need to commit to a fixed number of racks or kilowatts of power. We offer usage-based pricing so you only pay for what you use.
