Why layer3?

Possibilities, Not Problems.

Since 2005

When Layer3 was founded, the name was carefully chosen to reflect our core philosophy. In networking, “Layer 3” refers to the network layer of the OSI model, which is responsible for routing data between devices. It’s a critical layer that ensures information flows efficiently across networks, enabling smooth communication.

Likewise, Layer3 was created to be the backbone for businesses in Wellington and beyond. Our name represents our mission to connect businesses with the technology they need to succeed, ensuring their IT infrastructure is as reliable and secure as the networks we build.

At Layer3, we don’t just manage IT—we create the pathways that keep businesses connected and thriving. Our focus on innovation, security, and management is tied to our name, making sure that wherever your business needs to go, we’ll help get you there, securely and efficiently.

How we work

Success is achieved when the people using your systems can do so with ease and in comfort, wherever they are. Layer3’s goal is to create an IT environment which facilitates you and your staff to collaborate, work consistently and securely, and be more productive.

At Layer3 we believe IT should be about possibilities, not problems. To make those possibilities a reality, a dynamic strategy is essential, which is what we help create for you.

Layer3 has many years of IT experience. With a team of more than 20, we have been at the forefront of innovation and investment in IT in New Zealand since 2005. Based on our experience with smaller and larger clients in a variety of industries, having developed and built secure NZ based support systems, and fostering strong international connections, we can help your company or organisation to be prepared for the future.

We listen to your needs and wants and questions along the way. With you, Layer3 builds a strategy roadmap to get where you want to go. Our strategy workshops and vCIO (virtual Chief Information Officer) reviews will help keep you aligned to your strategy while introducing and explaining emerging technologies and potential threats.

The IT solutions we design and manage go beyond just support and maintenance. These are built to serve as the foundation for you to safely and securely explore and realise your possibilities. Guided by strategy, Layer3 provides a unique three-dimensional IT management model for your network, the people using your systems and your entire IT environment.
