Different workloads have different requirements. Whether hosted or on-premise, a private cloud is built for purpose which makes it ideal for workloads with data sovereignty and security concerns.
It also affords more opportunities for automation than legacy systems – and a software-defined data centre delivers the features of a public cloud to an on-premise environment.
Our online assessment will reveal how your workloads impact each other and help you optimise your IT environment for the easiest and fastest path to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and hybrid cloud.

Private cloud reimagined
Watch our discussion with cloud experts on how vital private clouds are in the hybrid approach. Private Clouds often house critical applications to ensure security and compliance, so it’s critical to get private cloud right.
Why consider a Software-defined Private Cloud?
Data sovereignty
Control the location of your data.
Security and compliance
Ensure that appropriate security and compliance measures are in place.
Performance and availability
Realise easier scalability, quicker deployments and reduced time to project completion.
Economics and efficiency
Use only what you need with cost predictability and scale as your requirements grow.

Cloud Optimised Hybrid Networks
Cloud-based network intelligence makes it possible to quickly, easily and securely adapt a network to the new cloud-oriented traffic flows. SD-WAN is better at handling the changing network traffic patterns that result from cloud computing and provides a simpler and more cost-effective way to deploy and manage remote branch office connectivity. Remote users will see significant improvements in their experience when using Cloud/SaaS-based applications through SD-WAN.
SD-WAN VeloCloud technology is a scalable answer for your application strategy, delivering high-performance, reliable branch access to cloud services, private data centres and SaaS-based enterprise applications.
You can leverage your WAN architecture for branch office agility and enhanced app performance by having your SD-WAN delivered by the cloud. This allows you to build and manage a secure WAN over any physical connectivity from any site. All traditional network functions are delivered as cloud services, making complex hardware configurations at each site a thing of the past.
Choose an operational model to suit your organisation
Reduce management overheads and streamline operational processes with a solution managed by us or leverage a simple hardware-as-a-service model and manage it yourself.
Both options include:
We partner with the best
Dimension Data is recognised as the only VMware Validated Design Certified Partner Architecture in South Africa.
The VMware Validated Design Certified Partner Architecture provides the tools, resources, knowledge and support to deliver integrated solutions that help customers to achieve successful IT outcomes and accelerate the adoption of a Software Defined Data Centre (SDDC).
VMware SDDC 4.2 on the Dimension Data solution provides a completely configured VMware SDDC built to a standardised format and architecture. This provides a private cloud which can quickly be scaled up (or down) and allows existing VMware virtualised data centre clients to extend or move their workloads into the Public Cloud.
