In conjunction with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Intel, Vodacom, South African connectivity, digital, and financial services firm, has announced the opening of Africa’s first Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts Innovation Lab.

The laboratory will focus on accelerating technology advancements across diverse industries, delivering speedier scalability, and creating the possibility to employ infrastructure and technologies to solve business concerns, according to a statement from Vodacom.

The laboratory is designed to assist Vodacom Business enterprise and public sector customers in accelerating their digital transformation journey by allowing them to build, manage, and scale local apps utilizing AWS services and tools.

Africa’s First Amazon Web Services A Significant Distinction


The laboratory’s long-term consequence is that clients will be able to save time and money in how they manage their businesses by utilizing new technologies, as well as creating better experiences for their customers. Customers may now contact Vodacom to validate their hybrid use cases and test their workloads on AWS Outposts before deploying them in production, according to the company.

Customers can use the laboratory in Johannesburg as a Proof of Concept (POC) configuration to test their applications and environments for performance on AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts, powered by Intel, is a fully managed offering that brings AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to any on-premises or edge site. It allows on-premises deployment of applications with low latency, data residency, and local data processing requirements while lowering the time, resources, and operational risk associated with procuring, managing, and upgrading on-premises infrastructure.

Synergies must be brought together.

Intel is collaborating with AWS to promote the laboratory’s service and Vodacom leverages its position as an APN member to test and deliver the migration to AWS Outposts.

“This offering represents a great opportunity to meet our customer’s demands for AWS hybrid cloud on-premises and off-premises—often a barrier to cloud adoption in more regulated industries where privacy and control of sensitive data and information are important considerations,” says Kabelo Makwane, Vodacom Business Managing Executive for Cloud, Hosting, and Security.

“While clients are increasingly seeking to cloud solutions for speedier innovation,” said Vinod Krishnan, Partner Development Lead for Europe Emerging Markets at AWS, “certain workloads need to remain on-premises where data residency is critical or where every millisecond matters.”
