Umbrellar Technology Group is a privately owned cloud solutions and technology services provider headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] The company delivers Microsoft cloud solutions, managed services, and digital transformation offerings to small businesses, agencies, and enterprise clients across New Zealand, Australia, and Asia-Pacific.
Umbrellar was originally established in 1997 as Digiweb and has evolved through multiple acquisitions and brand consolidations.[2]
History
The company originated from the amalgamation of 10 New Zealand hosting and domain brands, including Digiweb, Web Drive, and Freeparking.[3]
In August 2022, Umbrellar was acquired by Pax8, a global cloud marketplace provider.[4] In 2025, Pax8 divested its New Zealand MSP unit, enabling the formation of Umbrellar Technology Group as an independent entity focused on cloud services and technology solutions.[5]
Services=
Umbrellar Technology Group provides:
- Microsoft 365 and Azure cloud solutions
- Managed services for SMBs and enterprises
- Domain registration and web hosting
- Cloud migration and digital transformation consulting
Infrastructure
Umbrellar operates multiple data centers in New Zealand, including a facility in Albany Heights.[6]
Acquisitions
- 2005 – Freeparking acquired 2day.com.[7]
- 2012 – Digiweb acquired Digital Network Limited.[8]
- 2014 – Web Drive sold to Digiweb Holdings Limited.[9]
Umbrellar Technology Group is privately held. Previous majority ownership was by Pencarrow PE via DWDA Holdings Limited; current structure reflects independence post-Pax8 divestment.[10]
