“A hybrid, multi-cloud environment can enable government to manage their computing needs, affording them the flexibility to scale quickly via public cloud services while keeping mission-critical applications on their own infrastructure,” says Poppy Tshabalala, Vodacom’s Managing Executive of Public Enterprise. “While there is a structured aspect to Government cloud adoption, applications differ from department to department. There are constantly new ways of deploying workloads and Vodacom Business can make the process functional and secure, regardless of environment.”
