Cloud Ready Solutions is an Australian IT distributor serving New Zealand resellers, MSPs, and system integrators. Access 12 vendor lines covering backup, virtualisation, storage, cloud infrastructure, and file sharing with wholesale pricing and local support.
New Zealand IT businesses face a distribution gap. The large global distributors carry the same mainstream vendors everyone else has, which makes it hard to differentiate. The specialised vendors that NZ businesses actually need — affordable virtualisation, independent SaaS backup, cloud file servers — often do not have NZ distribution at all.
When NZ resellers try to buy direct from overseas vendors, they run into problems. US-based support teams are asleep during your business hours. Billing is in USD with no local payment terms. Hardware shipments come with unclear customs and import duty guidance. And there is no one locally to help with pre-sales engineering or deployment support.
CRS bridges this gap. We are an Australian distributor in a compatible time zone, carrying 12 specialised vendors that NZ channel partners cannot easily get elsewhere. One partnership gives you access to the full range with local support, deal registration, and straightforward billing.
Your current distributor does not carry the specialised vendors NZ businesses need
US and UK distributors have poor support hours and no understanding of NZ compliance requirements
You need clear guidance on import duties and shipping for hardware products
You want wholesale pricing without meeting unrealistic volume commitments
Your clients are asking for backup, virtualisation, and cloud solutions you cannot currently supply
A trans-Tasman distribution relationship gives NZ partners the benefits of local support without the limitations of a small domestic market.
CRS operates from Australia in a compatible time zone. You get same-day responses, support during NZ business hours, and a team that understands Australasian business practices. No more waiting for US or European vendor teams to wake up.
Australian data centres are the closest option for NZ businesses that need data stored outside of hyperscaler infrastructure. RackCorp offers NZ-located cloud infrastructure for workloads that must stay in-country.
CRS does not require NZ partners to meet large quarterly targets. Whether you are placing your first order or your fiftieth, you get the same wholesale pricing and the same level of support.
These four vendors are particularly well suited to the New Zealand market. All 12 CRS vendor lines are available to NZ partners.
All 12 CRS vendor lines are available to approved NZ partners with wholesale pricing and deal registration.
