Wellington based TEAM IM said it has launched New Zealand's first sovereign hyperscale cloud, deploying Oracle technology in its two data centres in the North Island.
Called TEAM Cloud, the offering uses Oracle's Alloy complete cloud infrastructure platform, which was delivered in what the company said was record time, just nine months, and in partnership with the United States tech giant.
With TEAM Cloud, New Zealand customers can opt for a hyperscale cloud operated by a local company, to provide true data sovereignty without any information leaving the country's shore, TEAM IM said.
"We can also offer a complete range of cyber resilient and low latency IaaS and PaaS (infrastructure and platforms as a service respectively) services to New Zealand organisations," the chief executive of TEAM IM, Ian Rogers, said.
Rogers added that TEAM IM's artificial intelligence tools will reside in New Zealand, which he said drastically decreases the chances of precious intellectual property or confidential data ending up in a knowledge base overseas.
TEAM Cloud will run independently across two of the company's data centres in its Auckland West and Auckland North regions, each with one availability domain, and both of which are Toitů net carbonzero certified.
The regions are connected with a low-latency, sub 0.5 ms, network, the company said.
Oracle's managing director of New Zealand, John Eastman, said that Oracle Alloy can quickly onboard TEAM IM customers, and give them access to over a hundred cloud services.
These include generative AI (GenAI) delivered securely, to support digital transformation and modernisation of New Zealand organisations, he added.
