About Saicom Private Cloud
Businesses are increasingly looking at ways to automate operations, deliver rich customer experiences and launch new products and services – cloud is the primary accelerator of this innovation and an essential element of a digital-first strategy.
Research firm IDC forecasts total worldwide spending on cloud services, the hardware and software components underpinning the cloud supply chain, and the cloud services opportunities to surpass $1.3 trillion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.9%.
To be competitive, organisations must not only have the right cloud strategy in place, but also the right hosting partner. Saicom offers a consultative approach to designing solutions to match each customer’s unique business needs and leverages the Saicom Private Cloud to answer these needs.
In an apps-driven world, you need an apps-driven cloud. Saicom Private Cloud is the best destination for your applications with total security, powerful innovation and a platform designed from the ground up to accommodate your workloads.
Choose from dedicated or secure shared infrastructures, with seamless migration of workloads between our data centres in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Nairobi (Kenya), or disaster recovery protection from your on-premise private cloud environment if needed.
