ST DIGITAL supports the technological transformation of the continent from 4 Tier 3 Datacenters across French-speaking Africa and eight commercial entities. A presentation was made by Anthony SAME, General Manager of ST DIGITAL, on December 1st during a press luncheon held at their premises in Douala.
Cloud computing, or cloud-based computing, is a model that enables access to shared computing resources via the Internet, without having to own or manage them locally. The cloud thus offers advantages in terms of flexibility, cost, security and performance. ST DIGITAL therefore provides, through its young pan-African team, a turnkey, flexible and affordable solution that allows businesses of all sizes to benefit from the advantages of the cloud without the technical or financial constraints. WWW.CLOUDSTORE.AFRICA is the first cloud platform to offer services such as website hosting, virtual servers, domain names, and email inboxes from servers located in Cameroon in a Tier 3 Datacenter installed in Douala.
"With ST DIGITAL today, we have innovated by introducing the first cloud service platform in Cameroon. That said, from now on, Cameroonians will be able to order their cloud services online and the cloud will be able to serve automatically without human intervention. All Cameroonians wishing to obtain a 100% African email address without sacrificing the comfort and performance of major publisher solutions can visit the WWW.CLOUDSTORE.AFRICA to try it out and be proud of this 100% African solution," boasts Anthony SAME, Managing Director of ST Digital.
Mindful of the issue of data sovereignty, the CloudStore.africa platform's services extend to others such as website hosting, virtual servers and .cm and .ga (Gabon) domain names. The guided tour of the tier 3 data centre by media professionals allowed them to gain a tangible understanding, through expert explanations, of the innovative and dynamic solution that ST Digital offers for the continent's digital transformation. It offers a turnkey, flexible and affordable solution, enabling them to benefit from the advantages of the cloud without technical or financial constraints.
Despite the barriers inherent to the cloud, such as costs related to service subscriptions, bandwidth, security and maintenance, CLOUDSTORE.AFRICA is, in sum, a project that illustrates the potential and dynamism of the African continent in the digital domain. It represents an opportunity for African businesses to equip themselves with high-performance tools tailored to their needs, while contributing to the building of a digital and sustainable Africa.
