As the NPI State of Enterprise IT Sourcing in 2025 report showed, 82% of companies are actively reducing their suppliers to reduce licensing complexity and optimize their procurement workflows.
Vox, one of South Africa’s internet and communications companies, has announced a strategic partnership with Nymbis Cloud Solutions (Nymbis) to expand its cloud infrastructure, data protection, and resilience services for businesses.
This collaboration brings advanced cloud capabilities back into the Vox ecosystem, enabling unified connectivity, security and cloud services through a single provider. Initially, the partnership will provide backup capabilities and expand into cloud computing and colocation over the next 6 months.
“Partnering with Nymbis allows us to strengthen our entire security ecosystem,” said Audrey Vadival, Head of Security and Value-added Services. “Companies want simplicity and integration. They don’t want separate providers for connectivity, cloud and security. Our cloud backup partnership offers them a strategic layer because, by integrating backup into our portfolio, we can offer a complete ecosystem across prevention, detection, and recovery in one complete solution.”
Nymbis brings deep expertise in cloud infrastructure and enterprise-grade data protection technologies. As a specialist cloud service provider and a Veeam Platinum Cloud Provider Partner, Nymbis provides advanced cloud and backup platforms that enable businesses to securely host workloads, protect critical data and recover quickly from disruptions.
Barry Kemp, Managing Director of Nymbis Cloud Solutions adds: “We built Nymbis on the belief that South African businesses deserve access to world-class cloud infrastructure and data protection without the complexity and cost traditionally associated with enterprise-grade platforms. Our partnership with Vox allows us to extend that mission to a much broader market.”
The partnership forms a key part of Vox’s commitment to ensuring customers have easy access to exceptional solutions that fit their unique operating environments and needs. The Nymbis offerings incorporated within the Vox ecosystem allow customers to access an impressive range of managed services that transform their resilience and security across their IT estate. Cloud infrastructure and data protection now form an essential part of that strategy.
“Prevention is only one part of the cybersecurity equation,” said Mohammed Pochee, Cybersecurity Product Manager, Vox. “You also need a reliable recovery strategy. Cloud infrastructure and secure backup capabilities provide you with the final layer of protection so you can recover quickly and maintain continuity if something goes wrong.”
The need for this kind of resilience is growing across the market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are facing increased pressure to strengthen their IT environments as cyber threats become more sophisticated and data loss risks continue to rise. At the same time, many SMEs lack the internal resources or expertise required to manage complex infrastructure and security environments on their own.
Looking ahead, Vox plans to continue expanding its integrated services portfolio as part of its broader strategy to continue delivering a full managed services and digital infrastructure portfolio to its customers.
“Our goal is to make technology simpler and more accessible,” concludes Vadival. “By bringing together connectivity, security, cloud and data protection, we’re helping organisations build resilient, future-ready IT environments without unnecessary complexity. We support our customers, helping them to operate more efficiently and securely in a challenging market.”
