Technologies

Axiz Advanced Technologies is the enterprise technologies core of the business.

Currently housing over 35 of the world’s leading enterprise software and hardware vendors, Advanced Technologies focuses on future-facing technologies, which require a more sophisticated sales and engineering capability.

This is an incubation hub for partners, and often end-users, to join on state-of-the-art vendor technologies in a viable ecosystem.

Complex business challenges require a perspective on both the most suitable product offering, as well as the scope, design, and solution required to solve the business problem. Advanced Technologies combines all of these elements with experienced business unit managers, world-class solutions architects and business development managers to drive the partnerships and build world-class solutions.

Advanced Technologies not only platforms pioneering technologies but also provides superior technical expertise throughout the distribution sales funnel. Having made commercial investments in vendor technologies, Advanced Technologies is a technological proving ground for partners to get a first-hand experience of how vendor technology can solve very specific, and complex, business challenges.

The Advanced Technologies portfolio encompasses a broad spectrum of enterprise and telco (telecommunications service provider) technologies. It spans from hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) networking and storage to analytics, databases, security frameworks and virtualisation technologies.

Axiz Cloud Technologies focuses on offering ground-breaking hybrid cloud solutions, technologies and services to our partners and their end-customers. These Hybrid cloud solutions comprise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Channel-as-a-Service (CaaS) and Modern-applications-as-a-Service (MaaS) offerings. The Cloud Technologies hybrid cloud model is underpinned by Microsoft Azure (cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centres) and continues to maintain and deliver the growing directory of Azure services and solutions.

The purpose of Cloud Technologies is to assist vendors, partners and their end-customers with this journey to the cloud and new technologies that solve their specific business challenges. This forms part of what Axiz calls “Channel-as-a-Service”. An ecosystem of ISV’s (independent software vendors) enhances the company’s capability to offer cloud solutions that partners utilise through its industry-leading proprietary digital platform. Partners and their customers can create new services, and scientifically scale their data centres and business requirements in real-time. This modern flexibility of Cloud Technologies makes it the leading cloud solutions provider for partners and vendors.
