The facility has the capacity to host up to 20 000 dedicated client servers or 650 000 virtual machines. The objective of the data centre is to allow companies to do away with their own costly data centres.
Vodacom Business will offer the following services:
– Basic web hosting
– Service Co-location
– Dedicated hosting
– Managed storage
– Managed backups
Wally Beelders, Executive Director of Vodacom Business says “IT operations are a crucial aspect of any companies operations. One of the main concerns is business continuity; companies rely on their information systems to run their operations.
If a system becomes unavailable, company operations may be impaired or stopped completely. Our new data centre will ensure that a company can continue to run without having to worry about their IT infrastructure.”
Beelders says all companies, no matter what size, will be able to benefit from the range of hosting services now available dude to the new data centre.
According to Beelders, the cost of setting up and running your own data centre infrastructure with back- up generators, UPS, air cooling, building management systems and associated services is prohibitive.
“By making use of our Data centre, clients will benefit from safe and cost-effective data centre environment – including back-up services that ensure the highest level of availability and network performance.”
