Datacentre220, New Zealand’s most connected and edge-ready data centre, today announced the relaunch of its brand identity and website. This strategic refresh reinforces Datacentre220’s position as the country’s premier digital infrastructure hub and highlights its commitment to unmatched connectivity, sustainability, and carrier-neutral, enterprise-grade services.

The relaunch comes as the 100% New Zealand-owned company doubles down on innovation and growth after 16 years of quietly leading in the background. For much of its history, Datacentre220 operated as “New Zealand’s best kept secret” in the tech industry. Under CEO Ross Delaney’s leadership, that’s changing. “You’re going to see a lot more of us out there,” said Delaney, who took the helm in January. “Our new look, our voice, our story - we’re making sure we’re understood in the industry. That’s a major focus.” The refreshed brand and website are part of a bold repositioning to help NZ better understand the importance of edge data centres and expand Datacentre220’s reach nationally, reinforcing its status as New Zealand’s most connected data centre which is a title backed by hard numbers, not just marketing.

Key highlights of Datacentre220’s “hyper connected” data centre

Datacentre220’s new brand shines a spotlight on the core strengths that have long set it apart. Key attributes of the facility include:

• Carrier neutrality: A completely carrier-neutral infrastructure that lets clients connect via any provider, fostering an open ecosystem of partners. This true neutrality has helped grow Datacentre220’s connectivity partnerships by 50% in the last five years.
• Network density:  Offering the most connectivity options in NZ, Datacentre220 helps customers source the best connectivity options for their customers.
• 100% NZ ownership & superior design: Proudly 100% New Zealand-owned and operated, the data centre offers Tier 3 capable redundancy and resiliency, giving customers confidence that their assets are in safe hands.
• 24/7 support: Around-the-clock support by a team of qualified technicians, with staff on-site 24/7 to provide remote hands, monitoring, and rapid incident response. Customers praise Datacentre220’s hands-on service and responsiveness as among the best in the industry.

Our new brand identity reflects the next chapter in our evolution. We’re reinforcing our promise to deliver edge-ready digital infrastructure for New Zealand. Being the most connected data centre in the country isn’t just a tagline, it’s a responsibility to provide world-class connectivity, security and support that give businesses flexibility.

‍Unmatched connectivity ecosystem

Datacentre220’s stand out point of difference is its unmatched connectivity ecosystem. Located in downtown Auckland, Datacentre220 offers direct access to over 90 networks and every major internet exchange and ISP in New Zealand, an ecosystem far larger than any other in the country.  This hyperconnected, carrier-neutral model means enterprises, service providers and cloud platforms can all interconnect seamlessly under one roof, gaining instant, carrier-neutral links to partners and customers. “The thing that makes us the leader in this market is the connectivity,” noted Delaney. “It’s completely different to anything else in New Zealand and that’s what sets us apart.” Datacentre220’s network-rich environment has attracted an extensive ecosystem of partners with many international tech companies choosing the facility to bring world-class innovation to NZ’s shores.

“We’ve just ticked over into 90 network partners in the data centre,” Delaney said in a recent interview. “That’s significant when you consider the freedom it gives our customers. They can reach virtually any service or provider they need from here, affordably and quickly, instead of building out infrastructure across the whole country.” This ecosystem advantage was underscored when network operator Chorus chose Datacentre220 as the launch site for its new Express Connect service, a high-speed fibre connectivity offering that can be provisioned in hours.

Empowering enterprises, clouds, and service providers

With its relaunch, Datacentre220 is emphasising the value it provides to a broad spectrum of customers, from enterprise IT buyers and government agencies to managed service providers (MSPs), telcos, hyperscalers, and content networks. For large enterprises and cloud providers, Datacentre220’s Tier 3 capable facility and extensive connectivity offer an ideal on-ramp into hybrid cloud and low-latency content delivery. At the same time, the company’s strict carrier neutrality means MSPs, telcos and connectivity wholesalers can colocate infrastructure at Datacentre220 without competitive conflict, leveraging the data centre as a neutral meeting ground to exchange traffic and extend their services. In fact, many MSPs choose Datacentre220 specifically because it does not compete with them and instead helps facilitate connections with local and global partners.

Ross Delaney highlights that Datacentre220’s mission is to be a nexus for collaboration in the digital ecosystem. “We designed Datacentre220 to be the meeting point for all players in the digital economy,” he explained. “Whether you’re an enterprise modernising your IT, a telco expanding your network reach, or a hyperscaler bringing cloud services closer to Kiwis, our facility gives you the connectivity, resilience, and support to achieve your goals. We’re here to help our clients and partners grow and we succeed when they succeed.” The data centre backs this philosophy with a “nothing is too big or too small” approach. Its on-site team offers flexible onboarding and the ability to customise and scale solutions as needs evolve. Remote Hands services are available 24/7 for anything from installing hardware to conducting environmental checks, and clients have 24x7 secure access to their equipment. Thanks to robust engineering and Tier 3 standards, Datacentre220 backs its uptime and fully redundant power/cooling infrastructure. These capabilities give IT buyers peace of mind that critical systems hosted at Datacentre220 will remain online around the clock, supported by local experts who know their environment inside-out.

Proven Success and Industry Trust

Datacentre220’s refreshed brand is bolstered by a proven track record of success. Founded 16 years ago, the company has grown to serve over enterprise and service provider customers (and recently surpassed 120 customers as it emerged from “stealth” mode). Nick Leishman, General Manager at Datacentre220 said “We’ve been doing this for over 16 years and know what it takes to manage critical infrastructure,”. Over that time, Datacentre220 has become the trusted home for a who’s-who of the tech world: “We’re trusted by global tech giants and enterprises to deliver secure, sovereign and resilient infrastructure,” notes Leishman. In tours of the facility, government ministers and international tech leaders have been “blown away” to discover the scale of innovation happening in a New Zealand-owned edge data centre. These success stories underscore Datacentre220’s ability to support cutting-edge workloads with low latency, high reliability, and seamless scalability. Every deployment is backed by the data centre’s “extensive ecosystem of network partners” and hands-on support team, ensuring that even the most demanding applications perform optimally. The broader tech community has taken notice. Datacentre220’s Queen Street facility is now viewed as a critical piece of national infrastructure for New Zealand’s digital economy. “It’s opened up some really important conversations around the role we play in the economy,” Leishman said of the attention from industry and government leaders. As the company looks ahead, it plans to build on this momentum.
