True data sovereignty

Your data stays exactly where you mandate it, shielded from foreign legal jurisdiction and geopolitical risk. Dedicated private environments with localised Tier-1 routing meet the strictest data privacy compliance standards such as GDPR, CCPA, POPIA, and beyond.

SAP heritage and agnostic power

Backed by 42+ years of EPI-USE Labs' global expertise in SAP environments, we deliver optimisation that generic cloud hosting cannot replicate. And if it runs on a server, it runs on iSphere Cloud.

Cost predictability

Hyperscalers can entice organisations with low computing costs, and then trap them with egress fees and consumption volatility. iSphere Cloud provides complete cost transparency, no variable metrics, and no hidden line items, ever.

People-centric partnership

Our experienced engineers work closely with you, from initial deployment and then through ongoing support. iSphere Cloud combines high-touch, responsive communication with the dedicated operational maturity of an experienced enterprise leader.

What are the benefits of moving our infrastructure to the cloud?

Cloud hosting removes the capital cost and operational burden of managing physical infrastructure. You get predictable monthly pricing, access to enterprise-grade hardware, and a fully managed environment, so your team can focus on the business, not the infrastructure. For SAP and regulated workloads, the right cloud set-up also improves resilience, disaster recovery, and compliance posture when compared to ageing on-premises systems.

How can we reduce infrastructure and hosting costs?

The biggest gains come from eliminating capital expenditure on hardware, moving to a predictable monthly service model, and rightsizing your environment to match actual workload requirements. iSphere Cloud's pricing is fully transparent, and our managed services include ongoing landscape optimisation to ensure you're never paying for capacity you don't use.

Is cloud hosting more secure than on-premises infrastructure?

It depends on the model and the provider. Dedicated private cloud, where your infrastructure isn't shared with other clients, can deliver significantly stronger security than on-premises environments that haven't been updated or audited recently. iSphere Cloud manages the full security stack: SDN/ZTNA software-defined networking, edge firewalls, VPN management, and 24/7 proactive monitoring. Nothing is shared. Nothing is left unmanaged.

What are the biggest risks of migrating to the cloud?

The most common risks are performance issues post-migration, compliance gaps around data residency, unexpected costs, and provider lock-in. Most of these are assessment failures, not migration failures; they originate in assumptions made before the work begins. A structured assessment, a tested migration methodology, and a provider with genuine experience in your workload type will mitigate the majority of these risks.

Should we choose public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud?

The answer depends on your workloads, not the other way around. Regulated, sensitive, or performance-critical workloads, including most SAP landscapes, are typically best suited to dedicated private cloud. Variable or globally distributed workloads may benefit from public cloud. Most large enterprises run a combination. iSphere Cloud covers all three models under a single managed service, so you don't have to choose a provider before you've chosen a strategy.

How does iSphere Cloud's pricing work? What are we committing to?

You only pay for what you use. We offer easy, predictable billing, billed in your local currency. The pricing does not fluctuate as your currency does, against or with the Dollar, Pound or Euro, for example.

What happens if we want to leave? Are we locked in?

No, you are not locked in. If we can provide you with the right service, we will assist you to migrate to an alternative cloud provider. We don’t ever charge any egress cost to remove your data out of our cloud.

How does the migration process work?

Our technical team will work alongside your internal IT and business teams, and we’ll establish the most cost-effective and efficient way to integrate into our cloud. Migration will be planned to ensure the least amount of disruption possible to your business.

Do you support non-SAP workloads?

Our cloud can – and has – hosted all types of workloads, databases and operating systems. We will accommodate your business needs.

How does your Cloud support work?

Our cloud can be supported in any way your organisation requires. This can be self-service, to full managed services by our capable and experienced internal support team.
