The Load Shedding Challenge in Limpopo

Business owners in Polokwane and across Limpopo know the struggle all too well. Just as productivity peaks, the lights go out, servers crash, and operations grind to a halt. In 2026, this reality hasn't changed - but our approach to IT infrastructure has.

From Power-Hungry Servers to Energy-Efficient Cloud

The traditional model of maintaining on-premise servers is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Here's why Polokwane businesses are making the switch:

  • Reduced Energy Costs: Cloud hosting eliminates the need for constant power-hungry server rooms
  • Automatic Backup Power: Cloud providers have robust generator systems far beyond what most SMEs can afford
  • Remote Work Capability: Staff can continue working from anywhere, even during power outages
  • Scalability: Pay only for what you use, rather than maintaining idle server capacity

Solar-Ready IT Hardware: The Game Changer

For businesses that need on-site infrastructure, solar-ready hardware is revolutionizing operations:

  • Low-power consumption devices that run longer on battery backup
  • Equipment designed to work seamlessly with solar power systems
  • Smart power management that prioritizes critical operations
