Internet Solutions

Internet Solutions is a South African information and communications technology company that provides a range of connectivity, cloud, hosting and managed services to business customers. Its core offerings include broadband internet access, MPLS virtual private networks, data centre colocation, virtual server environments and IT outsourcing. The company also delivers security services such as managed firewalls, intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment to help clients protect their digital assets. Internet Solutions serves enterprises, government agencies and small‑to‑medium sized businesses that require reliable, high‑performance network and IT infrastructure. By bundling connectivity with value‑added services, it aims to simplify technology management for its customers.

Although specific subscriber or revenue figures are not disclosed in the available sources, Internet Solutions operates a nationwide network that reaches major metropolitan areas across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria. Its infrastructure comprises fibre optic links, wireless backhaul and a series of carrier‑grade data centres that support both local and regional traffic. The company’s service footprint extends beyond South Africa, with points of presence that enable it to offer cross‑border connectivity to customers operating in other African markets. This regional reach allows multinational corporations to use a single provider for consistent network performance across multiple countries. Internet Solutions therefore positions itself as a pan‑African ICT partner for organisations seeking seamless connectivity and cloud capabilities.

A distinguishing attribute of Internet Solutions is its focus on managed services, whereby it takes responsibility for the operation, monitoring and maintenance of clients’ network and IT environments. This managed approach is complemented by its expertise in cloud computing, offering private, public and hybrid cloud solutions that are hosted in its own data centres. The firm also emphasises security, providing integrated threat management services that align with industry best practices and help clients meet compliance requirements. Its background as a telecommunications operator gives it deep knowledge of carrier‑grade reliability, which it leverages to deliver high‑availability services with stringent service‑level agreements. These competencies have earned Internet Solutions recognition as a leading provider of outsourced ICT infrastructure in the South African market.

Structurally, Internet Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dimension Data, the global systems integrator and IT services provider that itself is part of the NTT Ltd. group. The acquisition by Dimension Data in 2010 brought Internet Solutions under the broader NTT umbrella, allowing it to access additional global resources, technology partnerships and investment capacity. While it retains its own brand and operational focus on the South African and African markets, strategic direction and certain back‑office functions are aligned with the parent company’s policies. This ownership arrangement provides Internet Solutions with the financial stability and technical backing of a large multinational corporation while maintaining a local market presence. As a result, the company can combine global scale with regional expertise to serve its customers effectively.
