Sovereign cloud hosting in Australia
Sovereign cloud hosting means your servers and data stay physically in Australia, under Australian privacy law, in Tier III+ Sydney facilities.
Virtual servers, storage and backups in Sydney data centres, run by a Sydney team with 24/7 emergency support.
- Production and backups onshore
- 99.99% uptime SLA
- 24/7 emergency support
- Since 2003
- Definition
- hosting with Australian data residency and reduced foreign control risk versus offshore-only hyperscale
- Focus
- Australian soil, Privacy Act-minded design, Tier III+ class facilities
- Not the same as
- “an AWS region in Sydney” alone (residency ≠ full sovereignty story)
- Since 2003
- IT + infrastructure operator, Artarmon / Narrabeen
What the platform is built on
Where the data lives, what it runs on, and who looks after it.
100% Australian Data Residency
All data, backups, and replicas physically reside within Australia. The operator has no foreign parent, so the US CLOUD Act does not reach it.
Built for Australian obligations
Designed around the Privacy Act’s Australian Privacy Principles and ISM-aligned controls — suited to government contractors, legal firms and medical practices. Design support, not a legal certificate.
Enterprise NVMe Performance
NVMe SSD storage on every tier.
Tier III & IV Data Centres
Sydney facilities with N+1 power, cooling and connectivity. 99.99% uptime SLA in the contract.
Automated Backup & DR
Nightly backups with configurable retention, plus geo-redundant disaster recovery to a second Sydney facility — all within Australian borders.
Dedicated Local Support
A Sydney-based engineer looks after your account, not an offshore helpdesk. 24/7 emergency support.
Private Networking
Dedicated private VLAN connectivity between your cloud and data centre environments — no traffic traversing public internet.
Flexible Compute & Storage
Virtual machines and storage sized to the workload, changed up or down as it grows or shrinks.
Who needs this
Government contractors working to IRAP controls, health providers holding patient data, and legal firms holding client files. We design to these frameworks; your own obligations still need your own assessment.
Why Not Just Use AWS Australia?
AWS, Azure, and Google have Australian data centres — but as US companies, they remain subject to the US CLOUD Act. Foreign governments can legally compel them to hand over your data, regardless of where it's stored.
Our sovereign cloud has no foreign parent. Your data is subject only to Australian law, managed by Australians, in Australian facilities.

How a migration runs
A planned cutover with a rollback path, scheduled around your trading hours.
Requirements Review
We assess your current hosting environment, compliance obligations, and workloads to design the right sovereign cloud architecture for your organisation.
Migration Planning
A written migration plan with cutover steps and a rollback path, scheduled around your trading hours.
Environment Build
Your sovereign cloud environment is built, hardened, and tested in our Sydney data centres. We configure networking, backups, and monitoring before any data moves.
Migrate & Go Live
We move the systems, check every service, then cut over. Monitoring, backups and patching carry on from there.
What working with us looks like
Infrastructure in Australian data centres, with documentation you can hand to a client or auditor asking exactly where the data lives.
Discovery, a written cutover plan, then a built and tested environment — and only then the move.
We work to the compliance position you actually need, and say plainly where a requirement is not met.
Monitoring, backups and patching handled by the same team that designed the environment.
What is Australian Cloud Hosting?
It means your data and infrastructure sit physically in Australia under Australian privacy law. With an Australian operator that has no foreign parent, the US CLOUD Act does not apply.
What is sovereign cloud in Australia?
Sovereign cloud means the data, the operator and the legal control stay in Australia — not merely a Sydney region of a US hyperscaler. eWEB TEC hosts on Australian soil with no foreign-hosted production. Guide: https://ewebtec.com/blog/what-is-sovereign-cloud
Why does Data Sovereignty matter?
For government contractors, healthcare providers, legal firms, and financial institutions, data sovereignty is often a legal requirement. It ensures your sensitive client data is not exposed to international surveillance or foreign data requests.
Where are your servers physically located?
Our cloud infrastructure is housed in Tier III and Tier IV certified data centres located exclusively within the Sydney metropolitan area.
Do you offer backup and disaster recovery?
Yes. Automated backups and disaster recovery, all inside Australia. DR replicas are held in a second Sydney facility.
Can you migrate our existing systems to sovereign cloud?
Yes. Assessment, planning, build and cutover, with a rollback path and the move scheduled around your trading hours.
How is Australian cloud hosting different from AWS or Azure?
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have Australian regions, but your data may still traverse or be accessible through foreign parent companies under US law. Our cloud is run by an Australian operator with no foreign corporate parent, and production and backups stay onshore.
What compliance frameworks do you support?
We support the Australian Privacy Act, IRAP-aligned controls, the Information Security Manual (ISM), healthcare privacy standards, and ASD Essential Eight. Our data centres hold ISO 27001 certification.
