While cloud hosting is popular, many businesses still operate in traditional way and invest in local infrastructures (on-premises hosting). Local hosting is sometimes seen as the best choice for small enviroment, data locality and control of the asset. But most of the times, it is not true. Cloud is evolving and innovating, hence it deliver more than what you can think of.
Just one step away from adopting cloud, is HCI-as-a-Service. We help businesses to success via our “Cloud Journey” mission. And they gain obvious results such as reduced cost, raised performance, and improved availability. Supplementing the infrastructure with cloud services to make them even better.
Embracing HCI does not need to exclude cloud integration. Hybrid cloud is a journey we like to help you with your specific hosting needs, that provides a simple, optional on-ramp to cloud services, all with excellent performance at an affordable price!
Our journey to the cloud does not end here. Leveraging both benefits of CLOUD and the pay-as-you-use (PAYU) model, we establish our name as Dita Selia and commit to our service-level agreement (SLA). Customers just spend a fraction of the cost and are able to roll their business or project immediately. We take care of the rest for you.
