Cloud Server Hosting and Africa’s Digital Express

Seacom is the first undersea fibre optic cable in East Africa and new industries will emerge to build content and software, and experts believe that it would be foolish not to invest in cloud server hosting.

In recent years, we have witnessed a birth of the cloud server hosting industry, and we have also watched it develop at an incredible rate. In the western world, cloud server hosting is becoming a common facility in many companies. Businesses which put emphasis on their thirst for innovation have been particularly fast to adopt this new IT concept.

This year, East Africa is finally going to be ready for broadband. What seems like an ancient step for those of us in westernised cultures is a giant leap for the people of the African continent. Known as the “Digital Express”, it is the most important infrastructure investment since the construction of the Uganda Railway. But unlike the previous investment failure, dubbed “Lunatic Express” by critics, the Seacom network will be a major contributor to the country’s economy. There have already been talks about where the investment funds will be going, but some believe it to be critical to tap into the cloud server hosting business.

Funded by African investors, the undersea connection will integrate the region with the rest of the globe, and help to create new business sectors. There will be much opportunity for foreign trade and investment, and new industries are set to materialise – research centres will flourish and new markets for access devices will grow. 

Cloud Server Hosting – Wise Investment

Governments should seek advice before opting for conventional desktops and laptops locally. Instead, a wise idea would be to encourage the use of netbooks and build a cloud server hosting environment. 

A cloud server hosting environment can reduce energy consumption, save money, protect the environment, and is a growing business opportunity for a developing country. If the government settles with traditional desktops locally, they could make the same mistake that other countries have made in the mobile communications sector.

Cloud server hosting is a cheaper, more resilient and more efficient way of running software and platforms within an organisation. Whether it is business-to-business, consumer trade, a government body, or an educational organisation, cloud web hosting can be the green and economic answer. It is certainly the smartest answer.
