Investing and Managing your compute hardware is a capital cost not easily fully utilised from day one. With Private Cloud, you procure only the needed resources on an ongoing monthly operational expense.

All Hardware and Cloud software maintenance tasks are handled by the cloud team leaving you to only concentrate on your systems administration and service availability.

The SynBurst Private Cloud Product is driven by VMWARE using VCloud as its management platform. A dedicated Layer2 or Layer3 link is provided to these resources dependant on your requirements.

We are available through Teraco Africa Cloud Exchange or Physical cross connects and don't charge any port fees.

Dedicated Cloud resources are available in Teraco Isando (Johannesburg) and Teraco Rondebosch (Cape Town) with replication options available.

Resources procured within your private cloud are based on a month to month contract and can be scaled up and down as the business needs change. Obtain the fastest ROI on what you need at the time you need it.

For customers running VMware on-premise, Synburst's Cloud is designed to become a true extension of their environment. Deep VMware integration allows seamless workload migration
and protection between on-prem and cloud environments, with plugins into the client's vCenter and a familiar interface. This tight integration eliminates the need for costly application changes and ensures architectural continuity.

Because SynBurst offers a Private Cloud and can access economies of scale, we always maintain sufficient capacity for customers to be able to run additional programs or applications as needed. Moreover, the lifecycle of the hardware it all runs on is managed very stringently, and we ensure that we refresh our hardware well before warranties expire. This means our customers benefit from the latest technology, superior warranties, and the best efficiency gains.

SynBurst's Private Cloud is built, run and operated by local South African employees, and all data is hosted within the boundaries of the country. This local foundation means SynBurst avoids exposure to international laws like the US Patriot Act, ensuring data sovereignty and keeping client information securely within South Africa. Our support is also locally based, ensuring responsive and relevant assistance when needed.

The platform's key differentiator is that it offers customers predictable costs, particularly when compared to a hyperscale data centre. Hyperscaler costs are often unpredictable, with hidden charges like egress fees whenever data is downloaded from the cloud. Synburst, on the other hand, makes budgeting and forecasting simpler upfront ensuring no hidden costs or "bill shocks" over time.

Our infrastructure supports flexible networking topologies that can accommodate unique customer requirements - whether for segmentation, routing, or hybrid integration. For customers with a presence in Teraco, we offer direct cross connects to their existing cabinets, enabling seamless extension into our cloud. If the equipment is in the same facility, connectivity is fast and efficient. SynBurst also remains ISP-neutral, allowing clients to choose their preferred provider.

This flexibility ensures SynBurst's Private Cloud can adapt to complex enterprise environments and specific architecture preferences, making it easier for customers to extend or modify their infrastructure as their business evolves.

We build our infrastructure once and then make it available across our customer base. This means that a customer can easily subscribe to new services, choose what they want, opt out of what they do not, and have it delivered immediately.

We distribute infrastructure as a service through what we call a tenant's virtual data centre. In this setup, the compute resource the customer is subscribing to is the virtual data centre itself — and within that virtual data centre, we support flexible networking topologies that can be tailored to the customer's environment.

When a customer already has an on-premise data centre but requires additional capacity, we enable them to connect their environment into our Cloud, and they can then use the SynBurst infrastructure for the extra capacity they need.

In cases where the on-premise hardware has reached end-of-life, customers can avoid the cost and complexity of buying, building, and managing new infrastructure. Instead, they simply subscribe to our service. This turns what would have been a capital expenditure into an operating expense, with the infrastructure consumed and paid for as a service.

SynBurst's approach to business continuity and disaster recovery ensures that clients are equipped with robust solutions to mitigate downtime, protect data integrity, and maintain operational efficiency.

If a customer's on-premise facilities go down, the SynBurst Cloud can act as an extension or a disaster recovery site, with replication from ground to cloud. We offer an air-gapped
environment for this, as well as the ability to monitor and manage capacity within the disaster recovery setup.

Customers can use SynBurst's Cloud as their secondary site while their on-premise remains the primary — or, in the albeit unlikely event of a full-site failure, SynBurst has the ability to
replicate systems to its Cape Town or Johannesburg sites, and vice versa.

We have helped numerous customers achieve results and deliver their products or services to the market. We'd love for you to join us!
