GLOBACOM has set up a world-class Internet Data Centre in Lagos to provide co-location services, disaster recovery and dedicated hosting facilities to corporate clients in Nigeria and across West Africa. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=125495:glo-targets-corporate-clients-with-managed-data-facility&catid=55:compulife&Itemid=391 |

Are you saying in Lagos? Is Lagos State the best location with respect to disasters? Please these guys should do their survey very well if they want to be a giant providing cloud computing services. 1 Like |

Good move. I will like to see how many companies do care about their data in Nigeria and if they will want Glo to manage thier data .: Nothing about Physical security? 24hrs power supply. I will like to know the cost. |

the MBit/sec and uptime is what counts. Really that can be achievable but in an environment like Nigeria? everything, including cables, Servers, Aircons, etc coming into the country is of the lowest possible quality, all thanks to SON and other regulatory bodies not to talk of Lagos being flood prone. The cost of daily diesel usage alone will not let this compete with other nations' cost-wise. |

This is a welcome developement for all small business wanting to have all their data centralized. It means small businesses like microfinance banks, chain retail stores, schools, hospitals, financial regulatory bodies, and many more don't need to have full internet connection to access their data hosted with Glo. It signifies a shorter distance to a small World Wide Web - just what small business whose targeted customers are Nigerians and west Africans under Glo's network need. |

webdezzi: the MBit/sec and uptime is what counts. Really that can be achievable but in an environment like Nigeria?the speed/uptime shouldn't be an issue here as there will be no need for the subscribers to route their traffic via a busy main one fibre optic cable. And as for Natural disaster, it is a whole different ball game to the disaster mentioned in the article. They are talking about technical error within the system leading to loss of data. The cost of powering such project may not compete with that of other developed countries but will provide a far better option cost-wise to the "VPN via internet access" most small businesses are currently using. |

Primary datacenter needs to be fairly close the firms the services is being provided for. Yes, good location in Lagos should be primary datacenter. Such locations I would prefer is: Ikorodu, Ota, Lagos Island. BCP datacenter, idealy could be anywhere in Nigeria. But for business whose core business is in South West, I will suggest somewhere in Ijebu or Abeokuta. You need to understand quickly deployment of staff is also essential. Nigeria being a big country should implement regional datacenters if cost and profit are justifiable. Good moves. |

staaari: Primary datacenter needs to be fairly close the firms the services is being provided for. I would host all datacentres in Lagos to be honest Are there fiber cables going up towards ogunstate? |

Re: Glo Targets Corporate Clients With Managed Data Facility by kq(m): 3:36pm On Jun 26, 2013 |
jackbauersballs: Yes most of the telecoms firms have fibre going from their core network centers to other core centers in different parts of the country. Airtel/Zain even has a particular area in Ondo state, Idanre, because it is hilly they use fibre for txmn connections between the base stations located there. There are other fibre connection providers such as phase3 and 21st century also. |

All these telcos in Nigeria are not just innovative on their own accord .. All they do is mirror any service MTN is into not minding whether there is a market or not .. In the end all we have are competitors with the same products,same service , same prices which erodes any benefit the last leg consumer is to get from healthy competition .. So its Cloud service season |

ledafaze: Are you saying in Lagos? Is Lagos State the best location with respect to disasters? Please these guys should do their survey very well if they want to be a giant providing cloud computing services. Well, Lagos makes perfect sense. Keep in mind that most major corporations are based there, and the landing point for GLO1 submarine cable along with other major facilities and HQ owned by the coy are all based there. |
Re: Glo Targets Corporate Clients With Managed Data Facility by rimms(m): 5:40pm On Jun 26, 2013 |
Is it not the same Glo that fails to get mobile phone services right in the country? I think Glo should focus more in getting the phone service right before jumping into the ocean This is a good example why nothing works in Nigeria |
