Kocho has selected Zadara to future-proof its cloud infrastructure, delivering secure, scalable capabilities to meet evolving customer demands and accelerating AI readiness during ongoing VMware–Broadcom market disruption.
Faced with the combination of escalating licensing costs, pricing uncertainty and infrastructure complexity, Kocho sought a strategic shift from the traditional stack. By deploying Zadara, Kocho adopted a consumption-based, OPEX-driven cloud model, lowering the level of what had been significant upfront capital investments. This enabled Kocho to scale resources as needed, reduce capacity planning burdens and find a viable alternative to VMware and its new licensing costs. Zadara managed services also allow Kocho’s IT team to focus on delivering customer value through applications and services.
“Zadara’s distributed edge cloud delivers performance, data sovereignty, and real-time AI processing without data egress fees or financial lock-in,” said Jacques Fourie, Global Operations Director at Kocho. “Partnering with Zadara has been a critical step in future-proofing Kocho’s cloud services. Zadara liberates our team to focus on application work. We live in the house; Zadara provides the house.”
Kocho’s clients benefit from enhanced agility, faster service delivery, and guaranteed data residency, including secure client backups through Zadara’s advanced architecture and robust multi-tenancy capabilities. Additionally, Zadara’s seamless compatibility with Azure further aligns with Kocho’s Microsoft-first strategy, ensuring ease of integration for clients committed to Microsoft cloud technologies.
“We are proud to partner with Kocho in delivering a cloud infrastructure that is sovereign, secure and built for the demands of real-time AI and data-intensive workloads,” said Alasdair Hill, Sales Director – Northern Europe, Zadara. “Zadara is enabling Kocho to drive innovation and provide unmatched value to their clients while ensuring performance, compliance and scalability.”
