11:11 Systems, a leading managed infrastructure solutions provider, has successfully completed the acquisition of Digital Sense, a Brisbane-based high-quality cloud and managed services provider previously owned by Aussie Broadband. This strategic move strengthens 11:11’s position as a top sovereign cloud provider in Australia, expanding its footprint in the APAC region amid evolving VMware ecosystem dynamics.
Recent shifts in the VMware Cloud Service Provider ecosystem, driven by Broadcom, have streamlined the partner landscape. This coincided with Aussie Broadband’s strategic pivot to prioritize telecommunications under its “Look-to-28” initiative. Divesting Digital Sense enables Aussie Broadband to concentrate on core competencies while ensuring its former cloud customers continue receiving specialized VMware infrastructure support through 11:11.
“With the investment required to remain competitive in the cloud space and the upcoming changes to the partner ecosystem in 2027, we determined that 11:11 Systems was the right home for our cloud business," said Ben O'Shea, GM of Transformation & Cloud at Aussie Broadband. “Their deep specialisation in VMware environments ensures our customers will receive the strategic focus they deserve, while we sharpen our focus on our telecommunications strengths.”
Digital Sense has built a strong reputation in Australia for delivering reliable, high-performance cloud solutions. By integrating with 11:11’s resilient platform, these customers now benefit from expanded operational expertise, global scale, and a partner-first approach. The acquisition supports seamless continuity and positions clients for future innovation in sovereign cloud environments.
“Across the globe, 11:11 has been working closely with cloud service providers to help customers stay secure, compliant and perform at their best as the market evolves,” said Brett Diamond, CEO, 11:11 Systems. “Digital Sense has earned a standout reputation across Australia for delivering high-performance cloud solutions, and we’re excited to welcome their customers to 11:11’s resilient cloud platform—providing the stability they need today and the innovation to keep moving forward.”
“This acquisition reflects 11:11 Systems’ continued commitment to growth and investment across APAC,” said Marc Beder, general manager, APAC, 11:11 Systems. “By bringing Digital Sense into 11:11, we’re expanding our presence in Australia while strengthening our ability to deliver world-class cloud and managed services throughout the region. We’re excited to build on Digital Sense’s strong reputation and continue providing innovative, secure and scalable solutions that evolve with business needs in the region.”
Through consistent strategic acquisitions, 11:11 Systems has assembled unmatched expertise in VMware-based cloud environments. This latest addition reinforces its leadership in sovereign cloud services for Australia and accelerates its mission to empower global customers with efficient, scalable, and secure infrastructure solutions.
