Datacom helps your organisation find the ideal mix of hybrid and private cloud options. We also offer hosted, and edge deployed, private cloud solutions - built to scale, governed for sovereignty. Our solutions are underpinned by Datacom’s sovereign infrastructure, certified compliance controls, and partnerships with leading global cloud providers, ensuring your cloud performs locally and scales globally.
Hybrid and private cloud from Datacom gives Australian organisations a controlled, local foundation for critical systems, with seamless access to the scale and innovation of public cloud. Sensitive or regulated workloads can stay in Datacom’s Australian‑based private cloud and data centres to support data residency and sovereignty requirements, while other applications run in platforms such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. This lets you modernise at your own pace, avoid risky “all‑or‑nothing” moves, and keep key data under Australian jurisdiction.
Our hybrid solutions combine secure, locally hosted infrastructure with public cloud platforms to match the risk profile and compliance needs of each workload. By hosting sensitive workloads in Datacom’s Australian private cloud and integrating them with public cloud services, organisations can:
Datacom offer hybrid and private cloud platforms that deliver cost effective sovereign in-country cloud infrastructure, container and AI services. Our teams have extensive experience across New Zealand government, healthcare, and regulated industries, and can tailor hybrid solutions to specific compliance and resilience requirements. Low‑latency domestic connectivity, 24/7 locally based support, and proven governance frameworks help organisations run legacy and cloud‑native workloads side by side in a controlled, well‑managed environment.
What sets our hybrid cloud apart in Australia
Datacom ensures our hybrid and private cloud platforms are built to rigorous compliance standards and data sovereignty requirements:
Local data hosting: Keep data securely within Australia to meet national compliance mandates.
Certified environments: Align with IRAP PROTECTED, NZISM, ISO27001 and other regulatory standards.
Isolation and security: Options for multi-tenant or dedicated environments according to your security needs.
Continuous compliance: Proactive monitoring, auditing and compliance reporting integrated at every layer.
Choose from fully isolated or logically separated (multi-tenant) environments, all backed by audit visibility and proactive compliance monitoring.
Host, scale and optimise AI workloads in Australia using Datacom’s secure, dedicated GPU clusters and in-country AI platforms supporting confidential AI and machine learning workloads with strict data sovereignty.
Datacom holds certifications with our partners to ensure your workloads are secure, compliant and fully trusted.
Datacom operates secure, Australian‑based private cloud and data centre infrastructure, staffed by locally based, security‑cleared teams. This gives agencies and enterprises confidence that sensitive workloads stay in‑country and are managed to recognised security and compliance standards.
We pair this with deep experience across application modernisation, networking, and cybersecurity, and strong partnerships with hyperscalers so we can design hybrid architectures that balance sovereignty, performance, and access to modern services. Our teams manage the complexity of connecting on‑prem, Datacom private cloud, and Azure or AWS, delivering a unified, well‑governed environment rather than a collection of disconnected platforms.

Australian government agencies need cloud platforms that support strict security and compliance requirements while keeping sensitive data within Australia. Datacom delivers hybrid environments built on Australian‑based data centres that can support IRAP‑assessed and ISO 27001‑aligned platforms, and align with the Information Security Manual (ISM), the Privacy Act 1988, and Australian Privacy Principles. Dedicated or segmented environments allow government workloads to be physically and logically separated from general commercial tenants, while still integrating with agency systems and other clouds where needed. Datacom also provides managed services for monitoring, patching, backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity aligned with ASD Essential Eight strategies, giving agencies a trusted, well‑governed foundation for digital services.
DATACOM'S SIXTH ANNUAL CLOUD REPORT
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.

Hybrid cloud combines private infrastructure with public cloud services to offer flexibility, performance, and compliance. Datacom’s hybrid platforms enable workload portability and consistent management. Multicloud uses multiple cloud providers, while private cloud is fully dedicated to your organisation. Datacom helps you design and manage all, depending on your regulatory and workload needs.
It depends on your data sensitivity, scalability needs, regulatory environment, and existing IT investments. Datacom’s hybrid-cloud strategists can help you assess the best fit.
Yes. Datacom designs flexible cloud solutions that evolve with your business, from private to hybrid to multi-cloud, and back again.
Absolutely. All private cloud data is hosted in our certified data centres in Australia and New Zealand, with compliance aligned to IRAP PROTECTED, NZISM and ISO27001.
Not necessarily. Datacom offers secure private and hybrid options with GPU support and managed AI tooling, so you can innovate without compromising sovereignty or control.
Yes. Datacom’s cloud platform is designed to integrate with existing data centres, apps and workloads, letting you modernise without disruption.
Datacom offers hosted private cloud, AWS and Azure interconnects, and on-premises integration. Our hybrid platforms are IRAP and NZISM aligned and hosted locally for sovereignty and performance.
How we connect on‑premises, private, and public cloud:
For Australian customers, Datacom typically connects on‑premises environments, Datacom private cloud, and public cloud platforms using secure, high‑performance network links and modern management tools. Larger organisations often use dedicated connectivity into Azure and AWS regions to achieve consistent performance and security, while smaller environments may rely on site‑to‑site VPNs for cost‑effective integration.
On top of the network layer, we use APIs, integration platforms, and container‑based approaches to tie legacy applications to cloud‑native services. Centralised monitoring, backup, and security policies span all environments so you can see and govern how workloads and data move across your hybrid estate.
Hybrid cloud is about where your applications and data run: some stay in a private or on‑premises environment, some run in public cloud, and they are securely connected so you can choose the best home for each workload. This lets you keep sensitive information in local, tightly controlled platforms while using public cloud for elasticity and SaaS.
Cloud‑native describes how applications are built and operated: designed from day one to use cloud capabilities like microservices, containers, and auto‑scaling. In practice, many Australian organisations use both approaches – running cloud‑native apps in public cloud while integrating them with existing systems in Datacom’s private or sovereign environments.
Datacom’s hybrid cloud lets you keep sensitive or high‑risk workloads in Australian‑based private cloud and data centres, while running other applications in public cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS. This supports data residency and sovereignty expectations, improves performance for core systems, and gives you flexibility to modernise without a “big bang” migration.
We bring together locally hosted infrastructure, security‑cleared operations teams, and long‑standing partnerships with hyperscalers. Combined with deep expertise in application modernisation, networking, and security, this allows us to design and manage hybrid environments that align with Australian regulatory requirements while still enabling innovation.
Datacom provides hybrid hosting that combines its secure Australian private cloud and data centres with public cloud services. We assess workloads, decide which should run on private vs public platforms, and then connect environments using dedicated links or VPNs, with centralised monitoring, security, backup, and disaster recovery. This gives you a single, managed environment spanning on‑prem, Datacom private cloud, and Azure or AWS.
