Cloud-calibre, from the ground up

See the future and build it

Fifteen years ago Revera founders Roger Cockayne and Wayne Norrie – then Hitachi Data Systems managers – saw the future and built a ‘one-to-many’ IT services platform. Rather than sell storage ‘boxes’, they built a shared platform that clients used to provision and manage their own IT. It was the genesis of New Zealand’s cloud infrastructure build-out. Even then, Roger, the technologist, talked about data clouds, floating data, and enlivening systems wherever clients fancied. Turns out he was right. Revera was born, clients came and the company grew and developed. Today, Revera is regarded as New Zealand’s cloud services leader. Now, with new owner Spark, Revera is developing the next generation of cloud services and command-and-control functions to automate the provision and management of hybrid cloud services.
