Who is NorthCloud:

NorthCloud was founded in 2013 by a team of I.T. Professionals with a combined 60+ years’ experience in the I.T. services market. We realised that advances in communications meant that smaller businesses could now take advantage of the security and efficiency of hosting their I.T. systems in a data center. Most cloud services are difficult to understand, hosted overseas (with associated poor performance and data sovereignty concerns) and with poor services.

In 2016 we separated our I.T. Services business from our partnership with a major telco and integrated it with NorthCloud to offer a full range of I.T. procurement and technical services. By securely holding business data in New Zealand, by using our knowledge and experience of New Zealand business and not least our service experience, we bring best of breed I.T. to New Zealand.

We are Northlands premium B2B (Business to Business) technology partner, we take the complexity out of finding the right solutions to meet our client’s technological needs. For more than 30 years we’ve been building a strong reputation for quality service and reliable solutions. Our full suite of ICT products and services is used by businesses big and small, from local to national, ad hoc to fully managed outsourced services. NorthCloud has longstanding customer relationships for a reason – we put quality customer service at the forefront of what we do!

Our services include:

  • Hosted data and servers
  • Fully managed networks & Internet
  • Managed backup and recovery
  • Managed security
  • Onsite & Remote IT Support Services
  • Managed voice solutions
  • Hosted email
  • Procurement
  • Consulting and auditing
  • Project management

We’re real people who love workplace happiness as much as you do and we think our passion for our team really shows!

  • Breakfast daily (Thursdays is bagel day!)
  • A mini inhouse gym (& shower facilities)
  • Heavily discounted Kensington Fitness memberships

  • Discounted rates on holiday homes throughout New Zealand

  • Diverse and inclusive work environment
