Cloudbox: all-in-one cloud solution for SMEs that value their data


Cape Town, 15 Jan 2016

Specifically designed with the small business in mind, Cloudbox has recently been launched by local cloud solution specialist, Alto Africa. In collaboration with leading South African vendors, it offers reliable, future-proof and compliant cloud solutions tailored for small businesses.

"Cloudbox is the culmination of our combined 30+ years' experience in providing leading IT cloud solutions for SMEs all over the world, from New York to London, to Singapore right down to Cape Town. Everything we have learnt is distilled into one product that covers everything a small business needs from their IT," says Oliver Potgieter, CTO of Alto Africa.

Six reasons why your small business needs Cloudbox:

1. Single product that's simple to use and easy to understand:

Through its all-in-one, single product offering, the introduction of Cloudbox has brought simplicity to a cluttered and confusing South African cloud market. Cloudbox balances compliance and control with usability and functionality, and ensures your software is standardised throughout your company. With only one set of licences to manage, you have the flexibility to scale up or down as your business requires.

2. One vendor, one bill:

With three packages to choose from, namely Basic, Essentials and Premium, each Cloudbox package offers an IT toolkit designed to meet the technology needs and budget requirements of your business. Everything is taken care of under one roof by one vendor on a per-user, per-month basis for a flat monthly fee.

3. Personalised IT human touch:

Cloudbox's 'IT human' approach is firmly centred on excellent customer service. Unlike product-focused businesses where the incentive is to sell more, quality cloud solution providers are purely service-oriented. Cloudbox's success relies entirely on being able to keep clients up and running 24/7, which is why the company's dedicated IT humans are always just a phone call away.

4. Company data is fully secure and backed up:

Data security is a major concern for many small businesses. Because of the stringent compliance requirements that cloud solution providers operate under, higher security measures must be adhered to in order to keep valuable company information protected. From multi-layered anti-virus to cutting-edge data encryption, Cloudbox will ensure your company data is fully secure and backed up, and easily recoverable in a disaster.

5. Cost predictability:

IT resources and applications are managed offsite in the cloud, so you only pay for the services that you actually need. And because there are no unexpected costs (eg, due to hardware failure), costs are easier to predict, therefore budgets can be projected more accurately. Cloudbox offers affordable installation, maintenance and support costs payable at a fixed rate per month, giving you the freedom to focus on your business instead of worrying about IT issues.

6. Seamless migration with no downtime:

When migrating to Cloudbox, you can have peace of mind that your business will experience zero downtime. Our solution is fast to deploy with unlimited expansion capacity. From everyday support, to complex network monitoring and management, the dedicated team of IT humans at Cloudbox has you covered.
