Manila, Philippines – July 16, 2024 – In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Zadara, a global leader in cloud services, together with its esteemed partner, Sandz Solutions Philippines, is set to revolutionize the way Filipino businesses adapt to technological advancements. The partnership aims to address the unique challenges faced by the Philippine market, providing innovative solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of the region.
Understanding the Philippine Market
Tal Rotem, Vice President APAC and South EMEA at Zadara Storage, brings nearly 20 years of tech industry experience. During his visit to the Philippines, he shares his insights: “The Philippines is in the midst of a major digital transformation, with cloud technology playing a significant role. The government’s Cloud First Policy by DICT promotes cloud adoption to improve public services. However, key challenges remain: infrastructure limitations, ensuring data security and privacy, and a shortage of skilled IT professionals.”
To tackle these issues, Zadara’s Edge Cloud provides cost-effective, full-stack cloud solutions that can be deployed anywhere, including remote areas. This flexibility addresses performance, security, and financial challenges, while remotely managed cloud services mitigate the shortage of skilled IT professionals. Additionally, Zadara’s strict adherence to international security and compliance standards ensures data protection and privacy.
A Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Growth
Enrique Velasco, Managing Director of Sandz Solutions Philippines, reflects on the partnership’s origins and its evolution: “Sandz started as a traditional systems integrator, but as the IT industry became commoditized, we shifted towards managed services to ensure sustainable growth. Partnering with Zadara allowed us to offer on-premise infrastructure and storage as-a-service. This eliminated financial risks and enabled us to introduce more use cases like backup, disaster recovery, and archiving.”
Since its inception in 2016, the partnership between Zadara and Sandz has thrived, providing scalable, enterprise-grade solutions with zero capex for clients. This innovative business model not only removes financial risks but also fosters the introduction of advanced technologies, making digital transformation accessible to a broader range of industries.
Innovative Solutions for a Diverse Market
Zadara and Sandz are committed to accelerating digital transformation in the Philippines. Their combined expertise supports various sectors, including financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, education, retail, and manufacturing. By delivering secure, low-latency, scalable, and affordable cloud technology, Zadara and Sandz empower Filipino businesses to stay competitive in a fast-changing environment.
Rotem highlights Zadara’s recent technological advancements: “We are dedicated to enabling smooth transitions to the cloud while continuously innovating. Recently, we introduced GPU-as-a-Service and Kubernetes, significant additions to our portfolio. We are also expanding our ecosystem partner network to support a broader range of use cases.”
The partnership is poised to bring more capabilities and features to the market, including Content Delivery Network (CDN), Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) via Zadaras’ growing ISV ecosystem. These initiatives are part of their commitment to drive innovation and provide clients with the tools they need to succeed.
A Bright Future Ahead
The collaboration between Zadara and Sandz is marked by mutual success and continuous innovation. “Sandz brings extensive local market knowledge, strong customer relationships, and high technical skills, complementing Zadara’s advanced technology and global expertise. Together, we deliver high-value solutions that meet the unique needs of Filipino businesses,” says Rotem.
