Datacom Data Centres is the colocation infrastructure arm of Datacom Group, New Zealand’s largest homegrown technology company, operating five owned-and-built data centres across New Zealand (Auckland’s Orbit and Highbrook, Hamilton’s Kapua, Christchurch’s Gloucester, and Wellington’s Abel) plus two Australian colocation suites hosted inside AirTrunk’s hyperscale campuses in Sydney (SYD1) and Melbourne (MEL1). As of 2025, Datacom describes reaching five New Zealand “sovereign” sites representing roughly NZ$200 million in local infrastructure, following its acquisition of T4’s Auckland facility (Highbrook). The company positions itself as a trans-Tasman colocation network offering quarter-rack to multi-rack and wholesale deployments, with a stated focus on telco-neutral connectivity, sustainability (targeting carbon net zero by 2030), and support for GPU-intensive and liquid-cooled high-density workloads. Unlike global hyperscale colocation giants, Datacom’s footprint is deliberately regional, built around serving Australasian enterprise and government customers with data-sovereignty needs.

Common Questions
How many data centres does Datacom operate, and where?
Datacom operates five self-built, owned data centres in New Zealand — Orbit and Highbrook in Auckland, Kapua in Hamilton, Gloucester in Christchurch, and Abel in Wellington — plus two colocation suites within AirTrunk's hyperscale campuses in Sydney (SYD1) and Melbourne (MEL1), Australia.
Does Datacom own its data centres or lease space from another provider?
In New Zealand, Datacom states it designed, built, owns and operates its own certified data centres, while in Australia it delivers colocation services from dedicated data halls it leases within AirTrunk's Sydney and Melbourne hyperscale facilities.
Does Datacom support AI or GPU workloads?
Datacom markets its colocation data centres generally as supporting GPUaaS-intensive and liquid-cooled high-density workloads for AI, though it does not identify which specific building houses this GPU infrastructure, so no single facility can be confirmed as AI-optimized from available evidence.
What certifications do Datacom's New Zealand facilities hold?
Datacom's New Zealand data centres in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Hamilton are described as Tier III certified, and Datacom states its New Zealand sites hold the Uptime Institute's Management and Operations Stamp of Approval, which it says makes it the only New Zealand data centre operator with that certification.
