Cloud connectivity isn't one-size-fits-all

Depending on your architecture, compliance needs, and performance requirements, here at Datacom, we design and deliver the right connection types for each layer of your environment — from sovereign private cloud to global hyperscalers.

Public cloud connections

Connect securely to hyperscale platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud using dedicated direct connects or encrypted SD-WAN overlays. Datacom supports consistent performance and compliance across all public cloud services.

Private cloud connections

Link into Datacom’s sovereign private cloud environments or your own hosted infrastructure with low-latency, high-availability links. Ideal for sensitive, regulated workloads that require sovereign data control and auditable compliance, including health, finance and government sectors.

Hybrid-cloud connections

Blend private and public clouds with seamless network integration, enabling data and workload mobility across environments. Our hybrid designs support redundancy, burst scaling and secure interconnect.

Multi-cloud connections

Run multiple cloud platforms side by side with unified network visibility and intelligent routing. Datacom’s telco-agnostic design helps you avoid lock-in and optimise for cost, performance and compliance.

Choosing the right cloud connection for your organisation

Our managed connectivity services support a mix of software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), private multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), and dedicated cloud interconnects. We offer Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) - a cloud-delivered framework that converges essential networking and security functions into a unified offering. We help you choose the best-fit option based on cost, application type, compliance, and architecture goals. We also offer blended designs, combining SD-WAN with private interconnects into AWS, Microsoft Azure and Oracle while supporting that data sovereignty and compliance aren’t compromised. 

Latency-optimised, regionally routed

Datacom’s core connectivity routes between Auckland, Sydney, and Melbourne are optimised for low latency and availability. Our trans-Tasman backbone supports consistent performance for businesses operating across Australia and New Zealand. You get predictable performance for your cloud-native workloads, no matter where they’re hosted.

Intelligent traffic monitoring

With Datacom’s network observability layer, you gain full visibility into link health, packet loss, jitter and latency – across WAN and cloud circuits. Our managed services team use these insights to proactively triage issues before they impact user experience. We also integrate with cloud provider telemetry to extend monitoring into hosted workloads.

Why choose Datacom to meet your cloud connectivity requirements?

Telco-neutral by design

Datacom’s cloud connectivity network ensures everything is secured, isolated and monitored. Unlike traditional telcos, Datacom isn’t locked to a single carrier or vendor. That means we can source and manage the right mix of fibre, 5G, or point-to-point circuits — tailored to your business and cloud platforms.

We simplify operations by consolidating telco procurement, management and support into a single service — backed by enterprise SLAs and full visibility. You get better pricing, faster provisioning and more flexibility all through a single provider. We work with all major cloud service providers and telcos.

DATACOM'S SIXTH ANNUAL CLOUD REPORT

Delivering the promise of cloud

Datacom’s 2025 Cloud and Infrastructure Report draws on primary research from more than 500 organisations across Australia exploring whether cloud is delivering returns for organisations - and what is needed to build greater digital resilience.

This is our sixth annual cloud report, undertaken with our research partner Tech Research Asia, and is one of the largest longitudinal studies of cloud adoption in Australasia.

Frequently asked questions

How does Datacom’s SD-WAN compare with MPLS for multi-cloud traffic?

SD-WAN offers greater agility, lower cost and dynamic path control – ideal for modern multi-cloud strategies. MPLS can still be useful for stable, latency-sensitive apps.

Are direct-connect circuits included in Datacom’s managed connectivity service?

Yes. We provision and manage dedicated cloud interconnects to AWS, Azure and others as part of your hybrid cloud architecture.

Can Datacom monitor cross-connect health and alert on packet loss?

Yes. We provide full telemetry across WAN and cloud circuits, including proactive alerts for loss, jitter and performance degradation.

What is SD-WAN security and what are the best practices?

SD-WAN security refers to the measures and protocols implemented to protect data and maintain the integrity of an SD-WAN network. It involves integrating security features like firewalls, intrusion detection, and encryption, often through third-party solutions, to safeguard against cyber threats and unauthorised access. Best practices include robust encryption, strict access controls, threat prevention and comprehensive visibility into network traffic.
