Charl Venter, practice lead for Infrastructure-as-a-Service at Altron Systems Integration, points out that what is required is a successful workload placement strategy that ensures the right workloads are placed in the right architecture across infrastructure and the cloud.

“At Altron Systems Integration, we don’t just see our role as transitioning customers to the cloud, but ensuring they reap the benefits of the move from the outset. This is exactly the way our cloud partner, Huawei Cloud, approaches things too, which is why our joint efforts have been hugely successful. We have a strategic partnership with Huawei Cloud that I would describe as a hand-in-glove relationship,” he says.
