Seamless AWS migrations with Vodacom Business, now an AWS Migration Competency partner

-

 Vodacom Business takes the risk and unpredictability out of cloud migration.

 

Organisations of all sectors and sizes want to improve productivity and competitiveness through their digital systems. Yet, as newer technologies increasingly leverage modern services, many businesses struggle to migrate partially or completely to the cloud. No cloud migration is the same, depending heavily on the company's specific technologies, processes, and digital plans.

 

Every business needs a reliable migration partner who knows what it is doing – and has the recognition to prove its abilities. Vodacom Business, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Migration Competency partner, brings that experience and competency to the table.

 

To make migrations more predictable and seamless, AWS has created the AWS Migration Competency. Partners that achieve this competency have the validated expertise to develop and implement successful migrations to AWS systems.

 

Vodacom Business is already an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and AWS Direct Connect Service Delivery Program partner. After two years of investment and focus, it has demonstrated the technical proficiencies and proven customer successes to become an AWS Migration Competency partner.

 

"Becoming an AWS Migration Competency partner was a two-year journey for us," says Prince Hlatshwayo, Executive Head of Cloud, Hosting and Security at Vodacom Business. "We established numerous competencies and completed various migration projects. We have proven that we can deliver faster assessments, provide practical and relevant customer business cases, automate re-platforming and refactoring, and help establish the needed levels of governance and management."

 

Achieving these goals is not simple, which is why few partners qualify for AWS Migration Competency.

 

They must demonstrate their abilities in the following:

 

  • Discovery, planning, and recommendation
  • Business case analysis
  • Application mobility
  • Data mobility, and
  • Application monitoring and orchestration

 

"Migrating and adapting applications and other technical components to work in a cloud platform is risky and time-consuming. Many business digitisation attempts fall short or fail outright, and the complexities of effective cloud migration often aggravate those failures. But with Vodacom Business and our AWS Migration Competency status, you know you are collaborating with experienced experts. We know what to look out for and how to avoid problems, and we are incredibly skilled and close to the AWS cloud ecosystem."

 

Vodacom Business has helped thousands of customers adopt the powerful business-first technologies from AWS, saving migration costs and time and helping them continue expanding their digital capabilities as they grow and modernise.

 

Why AWS? For Vodacom Business, it is the obvious choice in next-generation cloud services:

 

  • Thousands of satisfied customers: The partner ecosystem of AWS helps customers successfully migrate all types of workloads, from a handful to tens of thousands of servers.

 

  • Extensive migration experience: AWS has developed the methodology, best practices, tools, and services to help simplify and accelerate migrations.

 

  • Quick time to value: AWS simplifies each step of the migration process, reducing the effort and complexity involved.

 

As an AWS Migration Competency partner, Vodacom Business joins an elite group that conducts and implements AWS migrations based on these expectations.

 

"When you collaborate with an AWS Migration Competency partner, you can bank on several things," says Hlatshwayo. "You can expect better business agility, more cost efficiency, improved control and visibility, and getting the best performance from your workloads in the cloud, even if they are legacy systems. This is all packaged in a streamlined migration journey. That is the AWS Cloud Migration Competency promise and the Vodacom Business promise."

 

Modernising your business technologies creates new business opportunities. Who you select to help you with that journey makes all the difference. Contact Vodacom Business and experience what many customers – and AWS – know: seamless and competent cloud migration that will deliver value and results quickly.

Strengthening network security: A crucial step in the fight against ransomware

By Mandy Duncan, Country Manager for HPE Aruba Networking South Africa Ransomware is becoming a major headache for businesses in South Africa. Recent research from Interpol shows that, on average, cyberattacks on organisations across Africa have surged by 23% year-on-year, with ransomware quickly becoming one of the most prevalent threats. Dealing with ransomware effectively often means using a mix of security solutions. However, if these solutions aren’t well-coordinated, it can lead to complexity, inconsistencies, and gaps in security. This makes it harder for teams to carry out the essential functions needed to guard against ransomware threats. Resources such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 can help businesses reduce cybersecurity risk [i] as it outlines six key functions, acting as a guide for organisations aiming to bolster their defenses. Given this context, AI-powered networking solutions can play a pivota...
