Our services
Everything a small business actually needs. Nothing it doesn't.
We deliberately keep our catalogue short. Each service is one most businesses genuinely need — provisioned simply, run locally, and priced so it makes sense on an SMB balance sheet.
Virtual desktops
A secure desktop your team can reach from the office, home or a client site. Centralised management, simple onboarding for staff and contractors, and no company data left sitting on a laptop that might walk away.
Work from anywhereNetwork services
Encrypted site-to-site and remote-access VPN for your offices, staff and partners, plus dedicated uncontended dark fibre between your sites and our datacenter — predictable bandwidth and consistent latency instead of shared broadband.
VPN & dark fibreBackup — on-prem & cloud
Self service or managed, encrypted offsite backup for your servers, virtual machines and almost any other Cloud service. Restore a single file or an entire environment. We are a Veeam Cloud Provider

Why CloudPODS
The gap between running it yourself and paying for "all the fruit".
Big cloud is built for the Fortune 500 — priced and packaged for them too. Doing it yourself means owning every failure. We sit deliberately in between: local, straightforward and simple.
| Consideration | Doing it yourself | CloudPODS | Big cloud providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | High Servers, licences, UPS, cooling, floor space. | Low Monthly, no capital outlay. |
Low — entry cost, but usage-based. |
| Where your data lives | Your office or comms room. | Adelaide, South Australia Local jurisdiction, Australian law. |
Multiple regions, frequently offshore — and no Adelaide presence. The big three all serve South Australia out of Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra. |
| Complexity | High — you own every single failure. | Low One local contact, one bill. |
Steep — needs specialist skills in-house. |
| Support | The techy guy in finance. | Direct From the people who built the platform. |
Queues, tiers and chatbots. |
| Contracts | Locked into hardware you already bought. | Month to month No lock-in, no exit fees — and discounts available for fixed terms. |
Annual commitments and egress traps. |
| Cost predictability | Unknown — a failure costs double. | Fixed Quoted upfront, billed monthly. |
Bill shock when usage spikes. |
Pricing

About us
A local SA company, filling a real gap.
We are a South Australian owned company providing datacenter services to the SMB market. We fill the gap between hosting your own infrastructure and the large, expensive "all the fruit" players.
We only provide simple and secure services that most businesses actually need, at a cost they can afford. Our aim is to keep your business running smoothly, with personalised solutions tailored to your needs and your budget.
And because we're local, you're not a ticket number in a global queue. You're a business down the road, and we'd like to keep it that way for a long time.
01
Honesty & integrity
We'll tell you when a service isn't right for you. We believe trust is the foundation of any business relationship, and we'd rather build long-lasting partnerships than make a quick sale.
02
Accountability
If something breaks, you get a straight answer and a person who owns it. We don't hide behind vendor blame or redirect you into a support queue.
03
Simplicity by default
Secure, well-run services without the complexity that most SMBs will never use. Simple to buy, simple to understand, simple to leave if you ever want to.
04
Always improving
We value innovation and continuous improvement, and are always looking for better ways to run our services and stay ahead of the curve — without experimenting on your production systems.
