How CloudZA Aims To Support South African Start-Ups With AWS
How CloudZA Aims To Support South African Start-Ups With AWS. CloudZA, a leading cloud system integrator and services provider, is excited to announce its efforts to assist start-up organisations in South Africa by leveraging the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to optimise their cloud journeys.
CloudZA is currently an advanced tier AWS partner and is currently working towards achieving premier tier partner status. The three African countries with the strongest start-up presence are South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya. CloudZA will focus on the South African market initially as the demand for modernisation is high and CloudZA’s geographical location is ideal for working closely with the Cape Town start-up community.
As the demand for cloud computing continues to grow, start-ups face unique challenges in harnessing the full potential of cloud technology. CloudZA recognises these challenges and aims to bridge the gap by partnering with AWS to deliver tailored solutions to start-ups in Cape Town and Johannesburg. CloudZA actively supports start-ups in the education, healthcare, private and public sectors allowing them to scale on-demand and failover quickly in the case of disaster. CloudZA also assists start-up ISVs by utilising the reach to a global audience.
AWS, a global leader in cloud infrastructure, has been actively supporting the development of the South African IT ecosystem. With their investment in local data centres and commitment to fostering innovation, AWS plays a crucial role in enabling start-ups to scale and succeed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. AWS data centres are powered by a redundant solar solution, allowing customers to meet strict compliance and regulation requirements while utilising a resilient, secure and highly available cloud environment.
Through CloudZA’s collaboration with AWS, start-up organisations in Cape Town and Johannesburg now gain access to the robust suite of AWS services, along with specialised support and resources offered through the AWS start-up programmes. These programmes provide access to valuable benefits such as credits, training and technical expertise.
By leveraging AWS services and start-up programmes, CloudZA empowers start-ups to accelerate their growth and achieve operational excellence. “CloudZA is thrilled to be at the forefront of driving innovation and growth within the Cape Town start-up community,” said Jonathan Oaker, CloudZA CEO. “Our collaboration with AWS enables us to provide start-ups with holistic cloud solutions, coupled with comprehensive support and technical expertise. We are committed to helping start-ups leverage the power of AWS and make the most of their cloud journey.”
