Cloud, Hosting and Managed Cloud

 We host, migrate and manage. That includes the unglamorous part: the service desk, the patching, the licence audit that quietly recovers a chunk of your annual spend. 

Design, migrate and run workloads on the major hyperscale platforms with local commercial terms.


  • Platforms include, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Huawei Cloud
  • Advanced AWS partner tier expertise
  • Gold Azure partner tier expertise
  • Billing in Rand
  • Extended credit terms and preferred rates
  • Lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect depending on the workload


As a Vodacom Business Partner we offer local cloud hosting. 


  • Locally host workloads on Vodacom Cloud
  • Skip the data sovereignty conversation whilst benefiting from cheaper ZAR denominated hosting costs


Most cloud bills carry twenty to thirty percent of waste. We find it.


  • Right-sizing, reserved instance and savings plan modelling
  • Orphaned resource and idle capacity sweeps
  • Tagging and chargeback so each business unit sees its own spend
  • Monthly optimisation reporting rather than a one-off audit


A structured review that typically recovers up to twenty percent of annual licence spend.

  • Full entitlement versus actual usage reconciliation
  • Identification of over-licensed and dormant accounts
  • Right-plan recommendations across the Microsoft 365 tiers
  • Renewal negotiation support ahead of anniversary


Assume it will fail, and know exactly how long it takes to come back.


  • Immutable backup with air-gapped copies to defeat ransomware
  • Defined recovery time and recovery point objectives per system
  • Scheduled restore testing with evidence you can show an auditor
  • Cloud-based disaster recovery without a second data centre


From procurement to secure disposal, handled as a service.


  • Device procurement, imaging and zero-touch enrolment
  • Mobile device management and application control
  • Warranty, repair and swap-out logistics
  • Certified data wipe and asset disposal reporting


Rack space across nine Vodacom data centres nationally, for the workloads that need to stay in country and close to your users.


  • Colocation in nine Vodacom data centres across South Africa
  • Choose the facility nearest your operation to cut latency, or split across sites for resilience
  • Carrier-grade power, cooling, physical security and redundancy
  • Quarter rack, half rack, full rack and cage options as you grow
  • Cross-connect straight into your existing connectivity and into cloud on-ramps
  • Virtual private servers and dedicated hosting where you would rather not own hardware
  • Managed operating system and database layers on request
  • Data residency kept in South Africa for POPIA and sector requirements


Not sure which of these you actually need?

 That is the normal starting position. We walk the operation first and tell you where the gaps are before recommending anything.
