Most cloud storage providers charge little to store data and much more to retrieve it, which can turn a disaster-recovery test into an expensive surprise. This piece walks through why PCIS Cloud's flat-rate, S3-compatible object storage avoids that trap, and how to point backup tools like Veeam, Acronis, or restic at it with just an endpoint, access key, and secret key.
Some workloads genuinely need guaranteed, non-shared hardware that virtualization can't promise. This article explains when PCIS Cloud's managed dedicated servers, real single-tenant hardware with monitoring, patching, and backups handled by the team, make more sense than a self-service VM, and why pricing for them is quote-based rather than a fixed tier.
Rather than forcing customers into preset VM sizes, PCIS Cloud's estimator lets you configure vCPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth independently and see a live price in your own currency. This piece breaks down how the included-allowance billing model works, and how to build a multi-VM quote before you ever sign up.
Instances is a second, separate compute product line running alongside Virtual Machines, built around a firewall you manage yourself and a console you can reach even before networking has finished setting up. This piece covers how self-service security groups and SSH key handling work, and when Instances is the better fit over a standard VM.
Many "database as a service" products are really just a shared schema inside someone else's database. This article explains why PCIS Cloud instead gives every customer a dedicated PostgreSQL role with self-service connection details, password rotation, and deletion, with no DBA ticket required at any step.
Hosting usually means choosing between a cheap shared plan with no real control or a full server you have to patch yourself. This piece describes the middle ground PCIS Cloud's Web Services product offers: an isolated container with a real file manager, automatic SSL, and live logs and metrics, with no server to maintain.
Nigeria's Revenue Service now requires invoices to be electronically cleared before they're legally valid, which normally means building or buying a separate integration. This article explains how PCIS Cloud built that clearance flow directly into its self-service Odoo hosting, including where credentials are stored and the difference between sign-only and sign-and-transmit clearance.
A Lagos video and photography agency was paying more in egress fees to deliver client downloads than it was paying for storage itself. This case study covers how a weekend migration to PCIS Cloud's S3-compatible, flat-rate object storage, with no code changes required, removed that cost entirely.
A mid-sized company's self-built server room came with costs well beyond the hardware: continuous power, air conditioning, a diesel generator, and IT staff time spent on maintenance instead of the business itself. This case study walks through what actually disappeared from the budget after migrating those workloads to PCIS Cloud.
A Nigerian e-commerce platform hosted on a distant international cloud region was losing customers to slow page loads and a hesitant checkout flow. This case study covers how moving its compute and database layer to PCIS Cloud's Lagos infrastructure fixed the underlying latency problem without requiring a rebuild.
Organisations often lose track of where their data actually lives as tools get adopted one convenient sign-up at a time. This article makes the case for self-hosted collaboration, using Nextcloud, hosted and managed on PCIS Cloud's own infrastructure, as a way to keep files, meetings, mail, and documents under an organisation's own control.
