Edge cloud services provider Zadara has announced that Africa Data Centres and Global Sense have added the company’s edge cloud services to their marketplace.
The partnership enables Zadara’s enterprise-grade products and services, including its Federated Edge programme, to now be available in Midrand, South Africa, and will soon be expanded into all Africa Data Centres locations to serve enterprise customers throughout the continent.
“We are excited about the launch of Zadara’s enterprise edge cloud services in our Midrand facility,” said Jody Martin, cloud product manager for Africa Data Centres.
“Through Global Sense, a South Africa-based systems integrator and strategic Zadara partner, customers in our facilities can access fully-managed IT infrastructure on demand, scale their solutions at any time and simplify complex hybrid deployments. It’s an honour to be a part of Zadara’s growth through our secure, cloud and carrier-neutral facilities – which are rapidly expanding across the continent.”
Zadara delivers superior turnkey solutions with the benefits of on-demand compute and storage services anywhere, in an existing on-premises data centre, in a private colocation facility, or in the cloud.
This flexibility enables customers to develop, deploy, run and virtualise any application on a true 100% OpEx consumption-based model.
“Enterprises around the world are reaping the benefits of Zadara’s edge cloud platform, and, with the African data centre market expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% over the coming years, the time is now to bring these benefits to the continent,” said Tal Rotem, sales director, South EMEA & LATAM for Zadara.
“We are proud to work with Africa Data Centres – their state-of-the-art data centres combined with Zadara technology will allow African organisations access to advanced, localised compute network and storage cloud services. Together, we are enabling customers to reduce cost, increase agility and drive productivity within their businesses.”
According to Gerrit Visser, managing director for Global Sense, “Our team understands that no two businesses are alike, that’s why we partner with our customers to develop efficient, cost-effective solutions that help optimise businesses. Delivering Zadara’s cloud edge computing and storage services in Africa Data Centres’ world-class data centre facilities allows our customers to keep up with modern enterprise architectures.
“Zadara’s pay-as-you-consume model is very advantageous to our customers and gives them flexibility and the ability to scale.”
