Ageing hardware. Surprise maintenance bills. A cabinet in the corner that nobody wants to think about until something goes wrong at the worst possible time.
And if you've looked at public cloud as the alternative, you've probably noticed the catch: your data could end up overseas, subject to foreign law, supported by someone you can't call. That's not a straightforward trade-off for a NZ business.
Figure8's hosted virtual servers New Zealand give you a third option.
The problems we solve:
- ✓ Ageing on-premise hardware is expensive to replace and a liability to maintain
- ✓ Public cloud stores your data offshore under foreign law, accessible to foreign authorities
- ✓ With offshore providers, support is typically delivered remotely, which can mean working through time zone differences and structured ticket queues
- ✓ Costs can vary over time, and it's not always straightforward to align resources precisely with changing demand
The Figure8 difference:
- ✓ Private cloud hosted entirely in NZ your data stays in Aotearoa, protected by NZ law
- ✓ Locally built and managed in Whangārei by a team you can actually meet
- ✓ Subscription-based pricing pay for what you use, scale up or down each month
- ✓ Hybrid option enables organisations to run workloads in the most appropriate environment
What's Included: Figure8 Hosted
Virtual Server ServicesOur hosted services are tailored to your business requirements, whether you need fully managed servers or unmanaged Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). With local support and flexible deployment options, we provide the infrastructure you need to operate with confidence.
Hosted Virtual Servers (IaaS)
Your systems run on our hardware, not in your office.
Figure8's hosted virtual server environments give NZ businesses enterprise-grade infrastructure without the capital outlay or ongoing maintenance that comes with owning physical hardware. Built on enterprise grade technology, your server resources (CPU, RAM, storage, and licensing) scale up or down each month to match exactly what your business needs.
No hardware refresh cycles. No emergency callouts when a drive fails. No equipment sitting idle because you over-provisioned three years ago. Just reliable, fully managed infrastructure with a local team behind it.
Your Data Stays in New Zealand
When your data is hosted offshore, it's subject to the laws of wherever it lands. That might be fine until it isn't. All Figure8 infrastructure is based in Whangārei, New Zealand. It's protected under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, subject to NZ law, and accessible only to people you authorise. No jurisdictional risk. No guessing which country's legislation applies to your client records. For businesses handling sensitive data, whether that's patient records, financial information, or client files, data sovereignty isn't a nice-to-have. It's the right way to operate.
Hybrid Cloud: The Best of Both Worlds
Not ready to move everything to the cloud? That's fine. You don't have to. Figure8 supports hybrid environments, some workloads hosted in our Whangārei data centre, others running on your own hardware. It's a practical option for organisations with legacy applications, mixed infrastructure, or a staged migration plan. Keep what works on-site. Move what makes sense to the cloud.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hosted virtual server?
A hosted virtual server (or IaaS, Infrastructure as a Service) is a virtualised server environment hosted in a data centre rather than in your office. You get dedicated server resources (CPU, RAM, storage) without owning or maintaining the physical hardware. It runs like your own server. It just doesn't live on your premises.
Where is Figure8's Hosted Platform?
Our infrastructure is based in Whangārei, Northland, New Zealand.
How does this compare to public cloud providers?
Public cloud providers run infrastructure overseas or in Auckland-based facilities managed by offshore companies. Figure8's private cloud is locally owned, locally operated, and locally supported. Your data is subject to New Zealand law, and your support team is down the road, not across the Pacific.
Can I keep some systems on-premise?
Yes. Figure8 supports hybrid environments, some workloads hosted in our data centre, others running on your own hardware. We'll help you work out what actually makes sense for your business, without pushing you in any particular direction.
What does it cost?
Pricing is subscription-based and scales with your usage. There are no lock-in contracts. Talk to us and we'll put together a transparent quote based on your actual requirements, nothing more, nothing less.
