Western Cape Business 2019 edition
A unique guide to business, investment and tourism in the Western Cape. The 2019 edition of Western Cape Business is the 12th issue of this highly successful publication that, since its launch in 2005, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Western Cape Province. The Western Cape has varied investment and business opportunities. In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, there are special features in this journal on the big impact which the relatively new maritime sector is having, together with tourism and events and renewable energy. The potential for independent generation is an exciting new avenue for local authorities. Western Cape Business contains interviews and messages from business leaders from Accelerate Cape Town, the Cape Chamber of Commerce and the Western Cape Business Opportunities Forum.

As a Ready <strong>Business</strong>, information is always at your fingertips,<br />
stored securely, without virtual and physical<br />
threats, in the cloud. The cloud makes collaboration<br />
easier, decisions faster and increases productivity.<br />
Vodacom provides you with cloud and hosting solutions<br />
and expertise attuned to your business needs.<br />

be Ready for success.<br />
Cloud and hosted services<br />
Benefits for your organisation of using the Vodacom<br />
cloud include reducing your capital expenditure, less<br />
office space and hardware and energy expenses. In<br />
addition, the cloud allows for:<br />
• easy scalability and upgrading<br />
• licences (only for what you use)<br />
• usage-based pricing.<br />
There are seven major categories of cloud and<br />
hosting services offered by Vodacom: Security<br />
as a Service; Vodacom Hosted Services; Software<br />
as a Service; Platform as a Service; Desktop as a<br />
Service; Professional Services and Infrastructure<br />
as a Service (IaaS).<br />
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) makes your<br />
organisation more effective: you can save on<br />
investing in data centres, cabinet infrastructures<br />
or actual servers. It’s a worry-free solution. The IaaS<br />
services of Vodacom are:<br />
Enterprise Cloud: You can run your infrastructure<br />
without having to worry about hardware maintenance<br />
and its costs. It is an easily scalable solution.<br />
Virtualisation will reduce costs, with an increase in<br />
reliability and redundancy.<br />
Dedicated Hosting: Ideal for companies that have<br />
outgrown a Shared Hosting solution, it is the next<br />
step up. Dedicated Hosting increases security<br />
compliance and performance. Vodacom Dedicated<br />
solutions allow you to refresh your new or existing<br />
hardware by leveraging off Vodacom’s buying<br />
power. We also provide customers with secure space<br />
in a cabinet.<br />
Private Cloud: Combines the robust infrastructure<br />
of our Dedicated Hosting offering with Vodacom’s<br />
flexible Enterprise Cloud solution – the best of<br />
both worlds.<br />
You as a Vodacom <strong>Business</strong> client do not need to<br />
hire an internal IT department or outsource your IT<br />
to small firms; instead, you have access to 24/7/365<br />
support when needed. Vodacom <strong>Business</strong>’ IaaS, SaaS<br />
and even DaaS are underpinned by a strong serviceorientated<br />
foundation.<br />
