Paratus Telecom, the largest privately owned pan-African telecoms operator, is taking cloud services to a next level by offering additional resilience solutions to its customers.<\/p>\n
At a closed event in Windhoek, Paratus Namibia Managing Director John D\u2019Aton pointed to the term \u2018cloud\u2019 as all-encompassing and comprising various services. \u201cIt is clear that the key drivers towards cloud services stems from initial capital investment, ongoing operational and maintenance costs as well as requiring dedicated resources to manage ICT infrastructure efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Owning IT infrastructure such as servers and applications creates complexity and requires valuable business resources to manage and maintain. Increased complexity means increased direct and indirect or hidden costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you own a smartphone, you are most likely already utilising some key functionalities of cloud services in your daily life such as Google Drive, iCloud drive, Dropbox or other online backup facilities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Beyond the individual use case, the corporate business world is looking towards alternatives of driving towards lower operational costs and cloud offerings are the best solution leveraging all the benefits against almost zero capital requirement.<\/p>\n

As a fully-fledged telecommunications operator proficient in connectivity services for over a decade, Paratus is the natural choice for cloud services boasting its own private high-speed network.<\/p>\n
