Why Revera. What other infrastructure providers claim to be (read more)
Cloud calibre: You don’t have a cloud without three local synchronised data centres offering tick-box services to get the level of protection your environment needs. We call it Revera Homeland™ utility computing infrastructure. Guaranteed service levels and data sovereignty delivered from triangulated New Zealand-based data centres.
New Zealand's leading computing infrastructure provider: We engineer and operate our own data centres, including Type-R Eco-Pods delivering granular control to high density computing environments. It’s all we’ve ever done.
Local ownership, local focus: You'll never be stranded. Your data is here. And you can get to the computers and the people running them.
Experts by any standard: Our computing infrastructure services today draw on over 20 years of big iron solutions design and deployment, over a decade of complex multi-tenanted hosting, and advanced data centre design and construction.
Responsible: Revera data centres are located away from flight paths (South Auckland), tsunami risk areas (Wellington Harbour and CBD), volcanic activity (Auckland Isthmus) and sandy foundations (Wellington CBD/Kapiti Coast). And our data centre controls use less energy to maintain appropriate data centre temperatures.
100 percent uptime: Our services run at nothing less then 100 percent.
Mad about service: The last thing clients want is to be hamstrung by overseas-based management decision-making. Being 100 percent locally owned and managed means Revera support really is 24x7x365. When there’s an issue, you deal with a locally based support team, built around your technical and business needs, functioning in your time zone.
Beliefs (read more)
We love what we do and making a positive difference for clients. We don’t just go through the motions – everything is done enthusiastically, honestly, and with integrity. It mightn’t sound like a big deal, but our clients will tell you that it is.
Focus: We're also different for our narrow focus – IT infrastructure, the heart and lungs of business IT. That's all we've ever done.
Culture: From day one we’ve broken the mould, combining unique infrastructure services with like-minded team members. Instead of egos, agendas, and broken promises, Revera lives by truth, transparency and humility.
Innovate to lead: Specialisation promotes deep thinking and new approaches to old problems. You see it in our big stuff, like Revera’s Type-R Eco-Pods, and so-called smaller things, like pricing flexibility. We’re not interested in same-same. We deliver what’s required, not what’s on the shelf. That’s why we’re able to challenge heavyweights and consistently punch above our weight.
Result: Revera services are what competitors claim to deliver. They never stop (nine years without interruption) and are delivered on New Zealand business terms.
