Our Story

In 2010 we identified with the trend to move to cloud based technology infrastructure where:

• we would get a reliable service – no downtime
• the servers were located in South Africa to reduce latency problems and eliminate exposure to international legal frameworks
• it was easy to use – it needed to have a simple interface for setup and management of servers
• we paid only for what we used not for unused capacity
• we weren’t locked into contracts
• we could instantly scale our resources up and down
• we could build a server farm with our own VLAN and not be limited to buying many single instance servers
• the billing interface was easy to use
• all of this was running in a robust quality infrastructure

In early 2011, the three founders, Dylan Haskins, Mark Beekhuizen and Paul Slade unable to find what they wanted in any cloud providers, started their own cloud computing company. Even our name, Go2Cloud, chosen after much deliberation, epitomized our desire to find the road to Simple, Fast Cloud in Africa.
