MainOne, a leading provider of innovative Data Centre and Telecom services and Network solutions for businesses in Sub-Sahara Africa is set to commission its Tier III Data center, the largest in West Africa.
The Data Center which spreads over 3,500 square meters is designed to provide 600 rack spaces, with redundant power supplies up to 6MVA and a 24-7 Network Operations Center.
Funke Opeke, chief executive officer, MainOne, said the centre is constructed to meet the rapidly growing demand for managed computing and network services in Africa. Opeke disclosed that the Data Center is further proof of the company’s commitment to deploy infrastructure based services within its primary markets as it will aid the reduction in information technology costs and risks.
The Data Center, she pointed out, will aid in improving the ability of organizations to move their key business processes online and accelerate the evolution of Nigeria into a digital economy when launched, while enhancing business efficiency and profitability.
The facility is designed to meet rigorous availability standards and offer a highly secure and reliable purpose built alternative with multiple layers of redundancy on all critical electrical and mechanical components to customers.
With the rollout of its Lagos metro fiber network and data center in 2014, MainOne is taking the lead in the provision of broadband communication services to large corporates, e-commerce providers, government and educational institutions in Nigeria.
It is expected that the new Data Center will give businesses unmatched performance at a lower cost by leveraging on MainOne’s track record of excellence.
