What Sandz Solutions does

Sandz Solutions Philippines Inc. is a Makati-headquartered managed services provider founded in 2000, operating for 25 years as one of the longer-tenured Philippine MSPs. The company delivers IT-infrastructure, data-protection, platforms, applications and data-modernization services to enterprise customers across Financial Services, Healthcare, Telecommunications, Education, Retail and Manufacturing, with named exposure to the Confederation of Southern Tagalog Rural Banks.

Its portfolio spans the full "as-a-service" stack — IaaS, CaaS, STaaS, BaaS, DRaaS, AraaS, PaaS, DBaaS and DevOps-as-a-Service — plus DR orchestration. The platform is assembled rather than built: core infrastructure runs on Zadara (including GPU-as-a-Service and managed Kubernetes), sovereign-cloud workloads run on the ATMOS In-Country Public Cloud, and adjacent capabilities are delivered through partnerships with Huawei, Druva, Synology and Inuvika OVD. A co-developed vertical solution, BADA (Banking Anywhere, Digital Anybody), is offered jointly with Bankware Global for rural and community banks.

The business model is subscription-based managed services with SLA commitments, sold primarily via multi-year contracts that bundle hybrid CapEx/OpEx and pay-per-use options. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with channel partners, anchored by tier-1 vendor certifications (Huawei, Zadara, Druva, Synology) and industry recognition such as CIO Outlook Top 10 Managed Service Providers.
