By now you’ve heard of ‘the cloud’, which is essentially a group of very strong, very fast servers operating as a single system. This means there’s enough resources to create a virtual server, complete with its own processor, memory, storage space, and operating system.

Because all resources are stored in the cloud, these virtual servers use software to manage resources. This means it’s easy to add more processing power, more memory, more storage to your virtual server. Best thing is, resources can be added when you need them and removed when you don’t, which means you only pay for those resources you use.

All cloud servers are hosted at one of MTN’s state-of-the-art data centres. Every data centre comes with its own layer of proprietary hardware and software security, on-site physical security, fire suppression, and even redundant power. And since your data is replicated across all servers in the cloud, your virtual server will keep running even if one physical machine is added to, or removed from, the cloud. Cloud hosting provides you with 99.99% uptime, and seamless business continuity.
