In an era where digital transformation is no longer a luxury but a necessity, midsized enterprises face unique challenges in transitioning to digital-first operations. According to the recent analyst report “On the Radar: Sangfor is delivering digital transformation for the midsized enterprise” by Omdia, a global analyst and advisory leader, Sangfor has emerged as a key player in addressing these challenges, offering tailored solutions that enable midsized enterprises to embark on their digital transformation journeys efficiently and effectively.
The Digital Transformation Challenge for Midsized Enterprises
The report highlights that while the benefits of digital transformation are well understood, many midsized enterprises struggle with limited resources, knowledge, and finances. Omdia’s research reveals that only 24% of organizations globally have completed their digital transformation, with 59% still in various stages of the journey. For midsized enterprises, the cost and complexity of infrastructure and cybersecurity are significant barriers, consuming nearly 44% of their IT budgets.
Sangfor has positioned itself as a strategic partner for these organizations, offering a suite of solutions designed to simplify and accelerate their digital transformation. By focusing on the mid-market, Sangfor addresses the specific needs of businesses with annual revenues between $500 million and $5 billion, providing them with the tools to compete in an increasingly digital world.
AI technology is advancing rapidly and is seen as a solution to increasing operational efficiency, delivering new customer experiences, and transforming businesses. However, organizations are scrambling to acquire the skills and capability to join this new industrial revolution, which is particularly challenging for mid-sized organizations that have limited budgets. Sangfor has packaged the infrastructure and software needed by all organizations into a single solution that can be deployed wherever the customer wants.

Reasons to Put Sangfor on Your Radar
With over 25 years of experience, Sangfor has grown from a three-person startup to an 8,000-strong global company. Known for its expertise in cybersecurity and IT infrastructure solutions, Sangfor has developed a reputation for delivering managed services that cater to the unique needs of midsized enterprises.
One of Sangfor’s standout offerings is its Unified Hybrid Cloud solution, which combines hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), managed cloud services (MCS), and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). This comprehensive approach allows businesses to optimize their IT resources, reduce costs, and focus on core business activities.
For businesses seeking a VMware alternative, Sangfor’s HCI and cloud solutions offer a compelling value proposition. VMware’s recent licensing hikes and rigid frameworks have left many midsized enterprises struggling with ballooning costs and limited flexibility. In contrast, Sangfor delivers a cost-efficient, scalable, and secure platform that adapts to the unique needs of mid-market businesses.
The report also emphasizes Sangfor’s commitment to customer service, offering both online and onsite support, proactive service management, and expert one-on-one interactions. This level of personalized service ensures that customers can adopt new technologies with confidence, backed by Sangfor’s robust security capabilities.
At Sangfor, we understand that midsized enterprises are the backbone of the global economy. Our mission is to empower these businesses with scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions that drive real results.
