Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • FY2026 revenue rose 7% to $1.58 billion, despite weaker profit.
  • March 2026 T4 acquisition expanded New Zealand footprint to five data centres for AI workloads.
  • Alinta Energy and Humanforce wins show demand for Datacom's cloud contact-centre and payroll integration.

What critics are saying

  • FY2026 profit fell to $20 million as customers delayed spending, pressuring margins.
  • Integration and upgrade costs from T4 Highbrook and $200 million data-centre expansion strain cash.
  • Accenture, AWS, and local MSPs compress Datacom's commoditized services; contract wins vanish by 2027.

What makes Datacom unique

  • Datacom's five New Zealand data centres, including T4 Highbrook, anchor sovereign infrastructure depth.
  • Its Nozomi Networks partnership made Datacom New Zealand's first full-service OT MSSP.
  • Datacom's Forage simulations hit 42,000 enrolments, building a low-cost early-career hiring funnel.

New Zealand data centre market analysis: 35 existing, 9 upcoming facilities with 154MW capacity

A new database report provides detailed analysis of New Zealand's data centre market, covering 35 existing and 9 upcoming facilities across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and other locations. The report tracks white-floor space, IT load capacity, pricing and rack capacity. The operational market totals approximately 154 MW, with DCI Data Center, CDC Data Centres and Datacom dominating installed capacity. Auckland accounts for over 60% of upcoming power capacity. The market demonstrates controlled, strategic expansion rather than explosive growth, with companies like TenPeaks, Datacom and CDC Data Center positioning New Zealand as a stable digital infrastructure hub. The database covers facilities from 2025-2029 and targets REITs, contractors, infrastructure providers and consultants seeking market dynamics and investment insights.
