Built on the shopping mall concept, Alto Africa has introduced Cloudbox, a new IT Solution for SMEs
Cloudbox aims to provide affordable installation, maintenance and support costs payable at a fixed rate per month, giving small business owners the freedom to focus on their business instead of IT issues. The solution incorporates email, email backups, file sharing, computer backups, antivirus and communication into one platform, according to Alto Africa.
Justin Trent, CEO of Alto Africa, said, “Cloudbox aims to balance compliance and control with usability and functionality and ensures that your software is standardised throughout your company.”
IT resources and applications are managed offsite in the cloud, so customers only pay for the services they actually need. With no unexpected costs, budgets can be projected more accurately and with one set of licences to manage, customers have the flexibility to scale up or down as they require.
According to Trent, “With three packages to choose from, each Cloudbox package offers an IT toolkit designed to meet the technology needs and budget requirements of your business.”
As workforces become more and more mobile, businesses need to respond. Shared calendars, secure file sharing, corporate instant messaging and online conferencing are now a must for every SME. Also, the amount of data being generated each day is constantly on the rise and to remain competitive, SMEs require a large, full exchange mailbox, email archiving and access to additional cloud storage.
“Data security is also a major concern for most small businesses. From multi-layered anti-virus to data encryption, Cloudbox is set to ensure that all company data is fully secure and backed up, and easily recoverable in a disaster,” said Alto Africa.
