Why This Certification Matters
This government-backed certification isn’t just a rubber stamp—it’s a vital endorsement of quality, security, and future-readiness. For New Zealand’s public cloud infrastructure, it represents a leap forward in building trust and resilience across both government and enterprise sectors.
Data centres that meet these high standards are better equipped to handle mission-critical workloads with maximum uptime, security, and efficiency. This ensures that public services, financial data, and essential digital operations remain protected and always available—even in times of crisis or peak demand.
