SA startups to get access to IT infrastructure, services with Silicon Cape, AWS partnership

A new partnership between Silicon Cape and Amazon Web Service (AWS) is set to provide SA startups and tech entrepreneurs with access to world-class IT infrastructure and services. Silicon Cape Chairperson Sumarie Roodt (pictured above) pointed out to Ventureburn on Wednesday (11 September) that startups often struggle to find enough capital to build their own IT infrastructure. “And this is where the AWS suite of products can help startups to setup their infrastructure in a few simple steps. “Since a lot, if not most, of South African startups have an online presence and or are online platforms themselves, they are heavily dependent on the cloud and similar services that offer flexibility, scalability and reliability,” she said.
