Cloud Services

It’s 2021. The cloud is here to stay.

Now, more than ever before, it is relatively easy and simple to set up your organization’s entire infrastructure in the cloud. Whether you require computing power, storage and database solutions, big data processing, machine learning models or various other services, you will find a solution in the cloud. These solutions are scalable, reliable, secure, cost-effective and easily deployable, freeing you up to focus on your core business.

With Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Huawei Cloud establishing their data centres in South Africa (and Google Cloud Services likely to follow soon), the reality is that South African companies cannot ignore the worldwide cloud trends any longer. In fact, between 2020 and 2025, the proportion of worldwide data that is stored in the public cloud is likely to grow from about 30% to close to 50%* as more and more companies establish their cloud presence.

Learning Machines can assist you with your cloud adoption, cloud migration and cloud infrastructure needs. Our certified cloud solutions architects will work with you to understand your readiness to adopt cloud services, assist you in development of migration plans for your current infrastructure, apply infrastructure decisions based on best-in-class architectural frameworks and assist you with the building and management of your cloud infrastructure.

Ready to Adopt the Cloud?

So, you have heard about the cloud and its benefits, but you are not quite sure where to start?

How about filling out our 5-minute cloud adoption questionnaire?

These questions are at a high level, and do not dive deep into technicalities, but rather concepts which your organization should be aligning to.

Based on your responses, our consultants will compile and supply you with a Free Cloud Adoption Readiness Report, which will highlight the conceptual stage of cloud adoption within your organisation and which you can use as a first step to drive change within your organisation. Our consultants will also reach out to you to see how we may be of further assistance.

  • Security – the ability to protect information, systems and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
  • Reliability – the ability of a system to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquiring computing resources to meet demand and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
  • Performance efficiency – the ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
  • Cost optimization – the ability to avoid or eliminate unneeded cost or suboptimal resources.
