Focus partners with VMware to launch Cloud services

The software development and IT services company, Focus, has partnered with VMware to launch its cloud offering, aimed at meeting the growing demand for cloud services and supporting Tunisia’s ambitious digital transformation plans under “Tunisia Digital 2020.”

Focus aims to deliver premium cloud services designed to meet the performance, availability, resilience, and security requirements of its clients’ critical applications.

The Focus Cloud catalog offers solutions such as virtual private servers, Virtual Datacenters, and cloud-based Disaster Recovery. Initially, the Focus offering will focus on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions based on VMware technology to address the needs of organizations looking to securely extend or migrate their infrastructure to the cloud.

The Focus Cloud solutions are built on high-quality infrastructure coupled with VMware technology, including vSphere, NSX, vSAN, and vCloud Director.

As an established VMware cloud provider, Focus will also bring its expertise and experience as a recognized integrator for critical environments, offering additional professional services, managed services, and support for integrating private and on-premises cloud environments. This will ensure clients benefit from data sovereignty guarantees, with data hosted in Tunisia, along with local 24/7 professional support combining quality, responsiveness, and proximity. Clients will also enjoy high-level SLAs tailored to their performance and high-availability needs.

Regarding this, Karim Ghandri, General Director of Focus, stated: “With the increasing demand for flexible IT services, we are excited to offer a diverse range of cloud services in the market with VMware. These services and solutions will set a new benchmark for digital services in Tunisia and assist organizations in their journey towards digital transformation.”
