Angola Cables, an Angolan telecoms company, has announced the launch of Angola Cables Cloud Service to the African market
The platform ‘Cloud as a Service’ was launched as a response to increasing demand from companies operating across the African continent seeking to innovate and improve their digital tools and capabilities. These companies also want to minimise software licensing and any additional costs, according to Angola Cables.
‘Cloud as a Service’ aims to address the challenges by delivering a different strategy that will improve business efficiencies and productivity while at the same time reducing the high costs and complexities associated with the purchase and maintenance of IT infrastructure and hardware.
António Nunes, CEO of Angola Cables, said that access to Cloud services has numerous benefits for corporates and other parties that need scale and efficiency for their businesses.
“The Angola Cables Cloud Service offering is a very robust, yet flexible platform that offers on-demand hardware and software resources, accelerated processing and cloud allocated storage that can be accessed anywhere in the world – even by mobile phone,” he added.
“Given Africa’s high number of mobile subscribers, cloud-based applications offer the opportunity to adopt and embrace evolving digital technologies that can advance economic development and cultural change. We are already seeing a steady increase in investments being made by governments, banking and financial institutions and other businesses on the continent in using the cloud to deliver more secure, user-friendly applications and services to their customers,” he stated.
Angola Cables Cloud Service is available through AngoNAP data centres in Luanda and AngoNAP Fortaleza Tier III in Brazil, with direct connections to low-latency South Atlantic (SACS) and Monet cable systems in safe, scalable, co-location environments.
