Global Micro Solutions launched their Virtual Filing Cabinet and Office on Demand at this year‘s Microsoft TechEd Africa, which took place from 16 ““ 19 April 2013 at the Durban International Convention Centre. Global Micro showed how customers now have the option to rent Microsoft applications on a monthly basis, without purchasing the software outright.
“œOur goal at TechEd 2013 was to share our expertise and showcase the best practices which we have built our business on. This year we are focusing on how to guide your customer along the Cloud journey“ says JJ Milner, Managing Director and chief cloud architect for Global Micro Solutions.
Global Micro‘s solution comes in the form of a Virtual Filing Cabinet, a technology developed by Allenport to deliver the best possible Cloud storage experience and business-grade service, currently available on the Cloud services platform.
Global Micro has invited Joel E. Allan, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer at Allenport to attend TechEd 2013 and host talks on the Global Micro stand. Allan gave attendees the best insight into how businesses can handle their Cloud services.
“œI am excited to be returning to South Africa to share my insights into the differences between public and private clouds, and why people should take note“ says Allen. “œJust like any other service available today, there are good and bad ones. Many Cloud services offer great features at a competitive price but the reality is that most of these services are not aimed at business users outside of their countries of origin“ adds Allen.
Data sovereignty, local support, and business grade security are the most important aspects affecting Cloud services for local businesses. By using international services, business data will fall under the jurisdiction of that country making it nearly impossible to manage from a legal point of view. Global Micro will be showcasing the best local Cloud hosting solutions and offer in-depth sessions on how a business can benefit from locally hosted cloud solutions and just how accessible it is.
“œThe technology we employ to provide local Cloud hosting to customers is incredibly flexible and it can be hosted on our local servers or on your own data centre infrastructure“ says Milner. “œWe have built a solid and locally trusted infrastructure, which provides the perfect framework for IT resellers to provide their customers with the best possible Cloud solutions currently available.“
