Cloud On Demand, a local channel-only cloud provider, has signed for additional data centre points of presence (POP) in Teraco Kempton Park (Johannesburg) and Neotel Diep River (Cape Town).

Partners will soon have the ability to choose location specific cloud workload deployments as well as failover locations and service level agreements. This will be in addition to the flexible cloud IaaS and SaaS services already available to the partner channel.

“The extension of our data centre locations is a direct result of the fantastic growth we have experienced as well as the increased demand for local cloud services in these locations,” says Jonathan Kropf, CEO of Cloud on Demand.

“As one of the first channel-only cloud provider in South Africa, the growth is a result of the comfort the IT channel has that we will not go directly to their customers and force them out after a certain amount of time.”
