Microsoft drives digital transformation through cloud adoption in Kenya

Microsoft, in an effort to create awareness around its Azure offering as well as drive cloud migration, hosted an event in Nairobi, Kenya to shape the perception and position Microsoft as a thought leader for global best practices in data migration.

It’s said that in the past five years, cloud adoption in Kenya has soared. Research conducted by World Wide Worx suggests that in the past five years, the use of cloud services in regions such as South Africa and Kenya has gone from fewer than 50% of medium sized and large companies, to more than 95%.

With digital transformation becoming the driving force behind organisational strategies across the continent – Kenya is no different and there is still work to be done. With this wave has come the need for organisations to consider cloud computing as a way of storing and managing servers, databases, networking analytics and software through the internet (cloud). With this, experiencing faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

“We created our Azure cloud offering recognising that organisations that migrate to the cloud would require an ever-expanding set of cloud services to help them meet business challenges. The solution also allows organisations the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive, global network using preferred tools and frameworks”, says Sebuh Haileleul Country Manager at Microsoft.

For business transformation in the digital age – this allows organisations in Kenya to pay only for cloud services used, helping to lower operating costs, run infrastructure more efficiently, and streamlining scaling as business needs change.

The event also raised awareness the hybrid cloud – speaking at the event, Wale Olokodana Intelligent Cloud (Azure) Business Group Lead at Microsoft said the following, “For organisations in the country not wanting to move to the public cloud completely, leveraging a hybrid model may be better suited. This combines private and public cloud capabilities, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.”

Furthermore, when computing and processing demand fluctuates, hybrid cloud computing provides businesses with the ability to seamlessly scale their on-premises infrastructure up to the public cloud to handle any overflow—without giving third-party data centres access to the entirety of their data. Organisations are afforded the flexibility and computing power of the public cloud for basic and non-sensitive computing tasks, while keeping business-critical applications and data on-premises, safely behind a company firewall.

“And this is where a monumental factor comes into play – with Microsoft recently launching its first cloud data centres in South Africa. Going forward the latter will allow for faster, more agile business operations and provide access to next-generation technologies for the rest of the continent, including Kenya”, continues Haileleul.

“Our aim with this event, is that CTO’s, CIO’s and the like will recognise not only the value that the public cloud has to potentially revolutionise their businesses – but also that it doesn’t stop there. Products like Azure stack as well as the just released Azure Stack HCI (Hyper Converged Infrastructure) solutions allow customers adopt models like the hybrid cloud to accelerate their digital transformation journeys – For businesses in Nigeria this will only help to keep them abreast in a dynamic and fasted paced environment”, concludes Olokodana.
