at a glance
The complexities and challenges
facing businesses grow with every
passing year. Globalisation means
organisations need to accelerate time-
to-market with new products and
services, while keeping costs down.
For many businesses, cloud computing
represents a way to address these
challenges; however, leveraging the
cloud presents a number of complex
challenges: security, compliance,
integration, global coverage and
internal readiness.
The impact of short-term, piecemeal
investments in cloud infrastructure
will be limited and will require
that organisations re-architect
and re-integrate the underlying
infrastructure with each new step.
This process can be complex and
costly, and will slow the momentum
of a business’ journey to the cloud.
How Dimension Data Cloud
Services can assist
Dimension Data’s comprehensive portfolio
of Cloud Services are aimed at making it
easier for you to accelerate your adoption
of cloud computing. They enable you
to be more agile, lower IT infrastructure
management expenses and reduce cloud
migration complexity and risk. You can
redeploy savings in both time and money to
focus on areas critical to the business, such
as mobility, collaboration and ‘big data.’
Our cloud offerings simplify planning,
design, deployment and management
of private, public and hybrid clouds.
They’re designed to address the many
requirements of your path to the cloud,
whether you are at the beginning of your
usage of cloud and virtualisation or well
on your way to leveraging the benefits of
self-service, hybrid cloud models. Because
all of Dimension Data’s Cloud Services
are delivered on the same platform, it is
easier and more cost-effective to migrate
from one cloud model to another as the
demands of the business change.
