Disclosing in Lagos to ITRealms in a press statement available to our correspondent, Agbaje said the new service offers organisations cloud
models quickly, securely and cost-effectively.
He also said that the global Managed
Cloud Platform (MCP) is now available in Nigeria to serve the needs of both
public and private enterprise, as well as service providers. Adding that Dimension
Data’s cloud offering will facilitate clients acceleration of their adoption of
cloud computing, increase strategic agility, lower ICT infrastructure
management expenses, and reduce cloud migration complexity and risk.
He explained that cloud technology
presents a new consumption model for ICT solutions and services wrapped in a
predictable, monthly commercial model, which allows its adopters to reduce cost
as cloud reduces the total cost of ownership of managing infrastructure and
applications.
“The availability of cloud computing
in Nigeria makes it easier for organisations to harness the cost and agility
benefits of Cloud as it provides organisations high speed access to secure,
enterprise-class public, private, hybrid and hosted private cloud services in
the country,” he said.
Further, he said that the benefits
of cloud computing are very compelling, the complexity of planning, building
and managing cloud infrastructure, is significant.
The Solutions Executive, Dimension
Data Africa, Mr. Tony Munro, says “cloud providers need to address client
concerns about security, compliance, integration, performance, capital expense
requirements, as well as deployment and operational risks – to allow clients
accelerate their Cloud journey.”
