See how File Transfer Africa's services can be applied to your BIG data transfer needs!
Upload movie and advert multi-media to offshore production studios; getting early access to footage may save days of keeping sets and staff operational.
Data specialists, simply jacking-in and uploading the day’s footage themselves, straight after the day’s shoot and getting straight to the studios; at 2 gigabytes per minute a 50 gigabyte upload could be available online in half an hour!
Migrate legacy data from on-premise data centres to cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft Azure or Google; reducing expensive on-premise storage costs or leveraging the processing power of cloud providers.
File Transfer Africa also has network and infrastructure architects who could provide professional services and support with collapsing data centres and going cloud.
Back up huge amounts of personal storage, photos and video footage into cloud storage; before that trusty (or not so trusty) collection of external hard drives pack up.
There are two types of people, those that have experienced catastrophic data loss and those that will!
