Kapua Data Centre (Hamilton)

Sister to Orbit (located in Auckland). Kapua (Maori for cloud) is Datacom's most expandable data centre and capable of meeting the requirements of cloud computing organisations.

The geography within which Kapua is situated is by the very nature of its inland location, the best-connected city (road, rail, power, data) in New Zealand - ideal for a data centre. Kapua is easily reached for IT warehousing typically located around Auckland Airport, meaning that at any time of day or night you can expect servicemen to be able to get IT spares and get these to the facility promptly.

On Hamilton's northern fringe, in Te Rapa, Kapua is 130km from Orbit, meeting DR separation requirements, whilst still supporting Active/Active business and mission critical applications.
