Axis Solutions is a division of Axis Solutions Africa, a technology company wholly owned by Zimbabweans whose core business is the provision of end-to end network management solutions particularly in areas of security, server and application monitoring, storage management and network availability.

“Zimbabwe is full of opportunities and we are seeing a significant growth among customers in the business continuity space, in particular among the Government sector.

“Other growth areas in the region include virtualisation and disaster recovery,” said Mr Prince Dube, sales and marketing manager at Axis Solutions.
Mr Dube added that this partnership presents an opportunity for Axis to become a premium provider of virtualisation and cloud solutions in Africa.

“The VMware technology stack presents unique opportunities for us, as we strive to position ourselves as a premium, value added technology provider of virtualisation and cloud solutions in the region.

“As the Zimbabwean market is a cost sensitive one, our customers are looking for technologies that are able to save them money in both hardware and software costs.

“The VMware technologies enable us to assist them in saving money on IT investments, assist them in ‘going green’ and saving electricity, these are just a few of the immediate benefits,” he added.

Mr Chris Norton, regional director Southern Africa at VMware, said that Axis has an excellent reputation in Zimbabwe. “Axis Solutions have an excellent reputation in Zimbabwe and have made significant investments into growing its VMware skills base, which in turn has resulted in its appointment as an enterprise partner in the region.

“With its ever expanding footprint across the country we are looking forward to further developing a strategic partnership with the company, and providing its customers access to virtualisation and cloud solutions from the VMware portfolio,” stated Mr  Norton.

In order to attain its enterprise partner status, the Axis Solutions underwent rigorous sales, pre-sales and technical VMware certifications.
This has placed the company in an enviable position, as it is now pitched as one of the leaders in the VMware space in Zimbabwe.

As an Enterprise Partner the company is expected to provide its customers access to superior skills and services around the VMware portfolio, which   are supported by skills within the business.
