The Metrofile cloud services are designed to cater specifically to the dynamic needs of Kenyan businesses, addressing the challenges of data volume growth, security threats, and the increasing demand for compliance with the Data Protection Act. “Our cloud services are not just about storage; they’re about empowering businesses to thrive in the digital era with complete peace of mind regarding their data’s safety and accessibility,” stated Jackline Mburu, Managing Director of Metrofile in East Africa.
A Leap Forward in Data Management
With the daily backup exceeding 1.3TB of business data and advanced protection against over a million threats per month, Metrofile’s cloud services are redefining the standards of data management in the region. The infrastructure guarantees consistent uptime, ensuring that businesses operate uninterrupted and providing reliability when it is needed most.
The private cloud offering is priced in the local currency to protect against exchange rate fluctuations and to provide predictable, fixed operational costs. A local data centre further strengthens this, ensuring compliance as well as speed and performance, while 24/7 expert support guarantees proactive server management and security. The data centre also lays down a solid foundation for enhancing growth and innovation.
“Our commitment extends beyond technology; we aim to create a partnership that supports our customers with flexible payment options and dedicated local support,” Steve Porter, Managing Director of Metrofile Cloud, added.
Self-Service Portal
At the heart of the service offering is a user-friendly Self-Service Portal, designed to empower customers and resellers by making the management of cloud services as seamless and efficient as possible. This portal enables customers to have access, manage, and monitor services autonomously, providing a level of control and accessibility that aligns with the fast-paced nature of modern business operations.
Investing in Kenya’s Digital Future
Metrofile’s launch of cloud services is backed by a solid investment in the country’s digital infrastructure. This move reinforces the company’s commitment to building on the established trust and support of the Kenyan people and businesses. “As we embark on this digital journey, we are excited to drive the shift towards a paper light, efficient, and secure business environment,” Porter commented.
