Saicom Achieves VMware Cloud Verified Status
JOHANNESBURG, 30 January 2023 – Saicom, a leading South African technology solutions provider, today announced it has achieved VMware Cloud Verified status.

Today, as a VMware Cloud Verified partner, the company has extended its competitive voice and connectivity offerings to include tailored SD-WAN, cloud, and hosting solutions.
The Cloud Verified designation indicates that a provider offers the complete VMware-based software-defined data centre infrastructure delivered as a service. VMware Cloud Verified partner services enable customers to achieve unmatched levels of consistency, performance, and interoperability for both traditional or containerised enterprise applications and the confidence that the service is based on the most advanced VMware cloud technologies.

Becoming a VMware Cloud Verified partner provides our customers with the peace of mind that our cloud-verified environment, the quality of our infrastructure, and the services we provide are of world-class standard,” says Joshua Grunewald, Cloud Hosting Manager at Saicom.
“As a business, Saicom is heavily invested in the VMware stack with our technical team continually strengthening their skills. Since being verified, Saicom is servicing a wider customer landscape and providing those businesses with the confidence that we can deliver the essential cloud support needed for the digital world,” adds Grunewald.
