Dom Oettl

In this episode of the podcast, TechCentral speaks to Dom Oettl, MD of The Training Room Online (TTRO), on how the company has used cloud computing -- and specifically Amazon Web Services -- to underpin its business success.TTRO designs and develops learning solutions using immersive technologies and learning methodologies. The company needed the enterprise benefits of scale without the complexity of traditional hosting, Oettl explains in the podcast. Specifically, it needed compute and storage on demand; redundancy and resilient architecture; intelligent load balancing; compliance and governance; and adherence to robust security standards.Since the TTRO team didn't have the time or the expertise on AWS, it needed to lean on a local partner. It found that partner in iOCO, part of the EOH Holdings stable. iOCO group executive for cloud Richard Vester explains in the podcast how it assisted TTRO and the role of companies like iOCO in helping businesses prepare for and manage their cloud journeys.

In this promoted episode of the podcast, TechCentral is joined by Richard Vester, executive director and head of cloud at IT services company iOCO, for a discussion on the "brave new world of hyperscale computing".In the podcast, Vester explores the impact of the opening in South Africa of hyperscale data centres by international cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, and what this means for the local IT ecosystem.He explains why service providers like iOCO still have a strong role to play in assisting local customers on their cloud journeys. The emergence of hyperscale cloud providers in South Africa should not be seen as a threat, but rather as an opportunity for local players, Vester believes.A shift in thinking is, however, required, both by the local IT service provider industry and by end-user customers, many of whom are still "box huggers" in that they are relatively slow to move to the hyperscale world, he says. Vester also discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and explores whether companies should be using the crisis to accelerate their digital transformation projects and the shift to cloud computing.Don't miss the discussion!
