DUBLIN, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The "The Rise Of The African Cloud – 2021: How Global And Local Cloud Platforms Are Powering Africa’s Digital Economy" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The African cloud is rising. This research finds that the use of standard cloud services is already widespread in the African continent, turbocharged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Cloud-based office applications are increasingly vital components of the African modern workplace. The rise of the cloud in the African market ostensibly goes beyond basic office applications. From banks looking to accelerate the rollout of new applications to startups disrupting entire industries with innovative, cloud-powered models, cloud services are transforming Africa’s productive capacity and emerging as one of the most essential pillars of Africa’s digital transformation.
There is some way to go, for Africa is, in truth, a tough place for cloud services. Many countries do not offer adequate, affordable, broadband speeds; latency to cloud data centers is too high from many locations. And perhaps most of all, the cloud is fundamentally about putting trust in what you cannot see, in a region where seeing and touching are essential to trust. All the same, the upside is considerable – and cloud services represent an opportunity that only the undiscerning would be prompt to dismiss.
This report is an extensive attempt to frame and quantify this opportunity. It is about the near-term economic, commercial and investor upside presented by the rapid adoption of cloud services in the African market.
From banks looking to accelerate the rollout of new applications to startups disrupting entire industries with innovative, cloud-powered models, cloud services are transforming Africa’s productive capacity and emerging as one of the most essential pillars of Africa’s digital transformation. The report is a comprehensive analysis on African private and public cloud services markets, including analysis of enterprise demand and cloud migration dynamics; market sizing and forecasting; competitive analysis; and much, much more.
