Cloud Services
Fastcom operates our own private cloud enterprise grade data centres in New Zealand and has access to the global hyperscaler, so we can meet your need no matter how big or small.
The cloud has transformed the way businesses operate – and our expert team can make sure your organisation gets the most out of it. Whether you’re taking your first steps into the cloud or looking to optimise an existing environment, we design, deliver and manage cloud solutions built around your specific needs, not a generic off-the-shelf package.
What sets Fastcom apart is we believe in the right workload in the right location – be that in our own private cloud, the public hyperscalers or a hybrid mix, we aim to deliver your business the best solution for your applications and data. Our owned and operated New Zealand private cloud infrastructure ensures your data stays in New Zealand, your environment is built on proven, secure foundations, and the team managing your cloud is the same team you call when you need support. There’s no overseas handoffs or ambiguity – just straightforward, expert cloud services from people who genuinely care about getting it right.
Cloud services the way it should be – secure, local, and managed by a team that knows and cares about your business.
Fastcom Private Cloud
The public cloud isn’t the right fit for every business, especially if your organisation has specific security, compliance or performance requirements.
Fastcom’s private cloud is hosted on our own New Zealand-based infrastructure, giving you complete data sovereignty. Your data stays in New Zealand at all times. Whether you’re migrating workloads from ageing on-premise hardware, looking for a more secure alternative to public cloud platforms, or need a fully managed environment tailored to your business, Fastcom has the expertise and infrastructure to deliver it.
KEY BENEFITS:
- New Zealand data sovereignty: Your data is hosted entirely within New Zealand on Fastcom-owned infrastructure – no overseas data centres and no ambiguity about where your information sits.
- Dedicated, private infrastructure (optional): Should you wish, you can have dedicated servers – giving improved performance, consistency and control.
- Enterprise-grade security: Backed by our ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 and NIST certifications, your private cloud environment is built and managed to internationally recognised security standards.
- Scalable on demand: Scale compute, storage, and resources up or down as your business needs change, without the cost and disruption of procuring physical hardware.
- Fully managed: We handle the day-to-day management, monitoring, patching and maintenance of your cloud environment, so your team can focus on running your business.
- Predictable costs: Replace unpredictable capital expenditure on hardware with a clear, fixed monthly cost for simpler, more accurate budgeting.
- Lower cost than the hyperscalers: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud come with complex pricing, unpredictable egress fees, and costs that grow fast as your usage scales. Fastcom’s private cloud delivers equivalent performance at a more predictable and significantly lower cost.
The power and flexibility of cloud – on infrastructure you can trust, hosted in New Zealand, managed by a team that knows your business.
AWS & Azure Cloud Services
Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are powerful platforms – but navigating them can be complex, costly and time-consuming without the right expertise. Whether you’re looking to move workloads into AWS or Azure, optimise an existing cloud environment, or migrate away from a hyperscaler to reduce cost and regain control, Fastcom has the skills and experience to guide you through it.
We work with you to understand your workloads, your goals, and your constraints – then design and execute a migration plan that minimises disruption and maximises the value of your cloud investment.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Move to AWS or Azure: We plan and execute migrations to AWS or Azure – assessing your workloads, designing the right architecture, and managing the transition so your team can focus on business outcomes, not technical complexity.
- Move away from the hyperscalers: If AWS or Azure costs have grown beyond what you expected, or if data sovereignty and local support matter to your organisation, we can migrate your workloads to Fastcom’s Private cloud – reducing cost and complexity without sacrificing capability.
- Cloud cost optimisation: Already on AWS or Azure but paying more than you should? We audit your cloud environment and identify opportunities to reduce waste, right-size resources, and lower your monthly bill.
- Security & compliance in the cloud: We ensure your AWS or Azure environment is configured securely and in line with your compliance obligations, closing common misconfigurations that leave cloud environments exposed.
- Ongoing managed support: Fastcom provides ongoing management and support for your AWS or Azure environment – monitoring, patching, and optimising so you get the most from your cloud investment.
- Local expertise, global platforms: Get the best of both worlds – the scale and capability of global cloud platforms, managed by a New Zealand team that understands your business and picks up the phone when you call.
Colocation & Data Centre
Not everything belongs in the cloud – and not every business wants to run its own data centre. Fastcom’s Colocation service gives you the best of both worlds: your own hardware, housed in our secure, enterprise-grade New Zealand data centre facilities, with the power, cooling, connectivity and physical security that your on-premise environment simply can’t match.
Whether you’re looking to move equipment out of a server cupboard, reduce the overhead of running your own data centre, or need a secure, resilient home for business-critical infrastructure, Fastcom’s colocation facilities provide the environment your hardware needs – managed by a team you trust.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Physical security & access control: Enterprise-grade physical security including 24/7 surveillance, controlled access, and audit trails – far beyond what most businesses can replicate on-premise.
- Resilient power & cooling: Redundant power feeds, UPS systems, and precision cooling keep your hardware running at optimal conditions – eliminating the risk of environmental failures.
- Direct network connectivity: Housed within Fastcom’s own network environment, your colocated equipment benefits from low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity to our infrastructure and the internet.
- New Zealand-based facilities: Your hardware stays in New Zealand, ensuring data sovereignty, low latency, and compliance with local regulatory requirements.
- Reduce operational overhead: Eliminate the cost and complexity of maintaining your own data centre space – power, cooling, security and connectivity are all included.
- Remote hands support: Need something done at the rack without travelling to the facility? Our team can carry out physical tasks on your behalf – quickly and reliably.
Fastcom’s colocation facilities give your infrastructure the environment, security, and connectivity it needs to perform.
Microsoft Licensing & SaaS
Navigating Microsoft licensing can be complex and costly if you get it wrong. Too many licences and you’re wasting money; too few and you’re exposed. Fastcom takes the confusion out of Microsoft licensing, making sure your organisation has exactly what it needs, at the right cost.
As a Microsoft partner, we provide licensing across the full Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise plans, Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Intune, and more. We also help businesses assess, adopt and get the most out of their SaaS applications, ensuring your software investments are working as hard as your team.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Microsoft partner expertise: We know the Microsoft stack inside out so we can help you choose the right licences, avoid overspend and stay compliant.
- Right-sized licensing: We audit your current licensing position and identify savings opportunities, so you’re only paying for what your business actually uses.
- Full Microsoft 365 & Azure coverage: From email and productivity tools to cloud infrastructure and security, we supply, manage, and support the full Microsoft ecosystem.
- SaaS adoption & management: We help you assess, onboard, and manage SaaS applications, ensuring they’re integrated properly, secured and delivering real value.
- Single invoice, single relationship: Consolidate your Microsoft and SaaS licensing through Fastcom – one invoice, one point of contact, and a team that knows your environment.
- Security & compliance aligned: We ensure your Microsoft environment is configured and licensed in line with your security and compliance obligations – including Intune, Defender and Azure AD.
Stop guessing at licensing and start getting value from it. Fastcom makes Microsoft simple – the right licences, the right price, the right support.
