Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting uses a network of remote servers to store, manage and process data over the internet.
Unlike traditional hosting that relies on a single physical server, the workload is distributed across multiple servers, providing greater flexibility, scalability and reliability.
Cost, performance and security are the three pillars of a great cloud strategy. Working with our certified cloud solution architects, we’ll help you define your requirements, migrate your data and applications if required, optimise your existing infrastructure and provide world-class support.
Whatever stage of your cloud journey, we’re ready to partner with you.
