Servercore has announced a successful migration of GoDeliveries cloud infrastructure from an offshore cloud provider to a robust local cloud solution, marking a significant milestone for GoDeliveries cloud strategy.
GoDeliveries, an innovative food delivery service targeting Nairobi area communities, previously faced several challenges with its previous cloud infrastructure. These included high operational costs, extended response times, limited server efficiency, and increased network latency that hindered the startup’s service quality and growth potential.
To overcome these challenges, GoDeliveries partnered with Servercore to implement reliable cloud products while ensuring a smooth migration. The partnership leveraged advanced cloud migration tools and methodologies, enabling robust and scalable cloud infrastructure tailored to GoDeliveries operations needs.
The migration project mainly involved a comprehensive assessment to evaluate GoDeliveries’ current infrastructure and application dependencies, detailed migration planning, custom-configured high-performance cloud servers and MySQL cloud database deployment, performance testing, security and compliance, and continuous monitoring.
The successful cloud migration project was completed in a month, yielding high cloud performance and operational efficiency improvements for GoDeliveries. The Servercore team ensured seamless migration, providing a high fault tolerance of 99.98% and minimizing technical incident response times to an average response time of 15 minutes. Also, the project helped reduce overall cloud IT infrastructure costs by 43% through the implementation of a transparent pay-as-you-go billing model.
“Servercore solutions have been crucial to our launch”, said Kalvin Omollo, CEO of GoDeliveries. “As a startup, we encountered significant financial challenges in securing server funding to support our growth. Servercore’s flexible and affordable cloud offerings allowed us to reduce our IT infrastructure costs by up to 43%. Additionally, access to local infrastructure support from Servercore’s Nairobi team ensures fast responses, minimizing downtime. The presence of a Nairobi availability zone guarantees low-latency performance, which is crucial for maintaining customer trust.
Overall, our experience with Servercore has been very positive. Their cloud solutions met and exceeded our operational requirements, giving us the confidence to focus on exceptional food delivery services. We are especially thrilled to have a cloud provider in the Kenyan market that offers such a high international level of reliability and quality of service at a significantly more affordable cost compared to other global providers or resellers.”
By partnering with Servercore, GoDeliveries gained access to cloud infrastructure benefits such as local cloud servers with 99.98% reliability, resilient IT infrastructure, transparent billing paid in local currencies without hidden costs, and 24/7 access to local and skilled technical support. Servercore also fully complies with local personal data storage and processing laws.
“Full compliance with local data storage requirements illustrates our commitment to empowering local businesses through innovative cloud solutions”, Victoria Kleinbort, Country Manager for Kenya at Servercore, emphasized the broader impact of their approach. “We’re not just providing IT infrastructure solutions; we’re enabling digital transformation that helps Kenyan startups overcome technological barriers and accelerate growth and success. Our performance-driven, locally-focused approach allows companies like GoDeliveries to focus on their core mission while we handle their IT infrastructure needs.”
