Why keep your cloud local?
The big global clouds are built for scale. CloudSource is built for New Zealand businesses that want to know where their data lives and who is looking after it.
Your data stays here
Everything is hosted in our Auckland data centre, under New Zealand law. You can come and visit it.
You know your team
The engineers managing your systems are the people you talk to. No ticket queues routed overseas.
Enterprise-grade security
Backup generators, dual air-conditioning, multi-factor sign-in and 24/7 monitoring.
Fast recovery
Local links mean quicker access, and being nearby means we can act straight away when something goes wrong.
Cost-effective by design
Every workload in the right place, at the right price.
Because we run our own private cloud and Azure, we can put each workload where it’s best value, not where a single provider needs it to be.
Right place, right price
Steady, everyday workloads often cost less on our private cloud. Azure earns its place when you need scale or its services. We’ll help you compare.
Backups and monitoring included
Automated backups and 24/7 monitoring come as standard, not as costly add-ons.
Scale as you need
Add CPU, memory or storage when you grow and scale back when you don’t, so you’re not paying for idle capacity.
No complicated contracts
Straightforward agreements, plus short-term options when you only need cloud for a while.
Grow without starting over
Move from private cloud to hybrid to Azure at your own pace, with the same team supporting you all the way.
Faster local support
Your engineers are in New Zealand, so problems are fixed quickly and downtime costs you less.
Our team
People you know, at every level of the cloud.
The engineers who look after your private cloud also design and run your Azure environment, your Microsoft 365 and your everyday IT. One team, around 50 people across Auckland and Christchurch, looking after New Zealand businesses since 1996.

FAQ
Questions we’re often asked
What is CloudSource?
CloudSource is the cloud service from OutSource, part of Kinetics Group. It covers our own private cloud hosted in Auckland, hybrid setups, Microsoft Azure and a hosted 3CX phone system, all run by one local team.
Where is my data stored?
On our private cloud, your data is hosted in our Auckland data centre and stays in New Zealand. For Azure workloads, we help you choose the Microsoft data centre region that meets your requirements.
Is private cloud cheaper than Azure?
It depends on the workload. Steady, everyday systems often cost less on our private cloud, while Azure earns its place when you need scale or Microsoft’s advanced services. We’ll compare both for your situation.
Can we start on private cloud and move to Azure later?
Yes. That’s how CloudSource is designed. You can move one system at a time, run a hybrid of both, and keep the same team supporting you throughout.
Who will support us?
The same Kinetics Group team that looks after your everyday IT, based in Auckland and Christchurch. No offshore call centres.
