MyBroadband’s business technology survey revealed that Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and AWS are the top cloud providers, while most companies avoid Huawei Cloud.
Increased awareness of Google Cloud was expected as the company launched its Johannesburg cloud region in South Africa in January. Microsoft Azure ranked second, with 35% of people selecting it, followed by Amazon Web Services with 21%. Huawei Cloud has failed to convince South African companies that it is a viable alternative to Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and AWS.
Supporting this growth is the high level of investment made by the global cloud hyperscalers in South Africa.
