The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on Wednesday said it had inaugurated an ultra-modern green data centre aimed at safeguarding its equipment and intellectual property.<\/p>\n
This is contained in a statement signed by the Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division of the corporation, Mr Fidel Pepple.<\/p>\n
It said that the data center was designed for maximum energy efficiency with minimum environmental impact and built with leading industry standard technologies.<\/p>\n
It said that the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mr Andrew Yakubu, described the centre as highly secured and fault-resistant.<\/p>\n
“Today, we begin a bold and crucial journey in our collective quest with an eye for the future by inaugurating the New NNPC Data Centre,\u2019\u2019 Yakubu said.<\/p>\n
He said that the philosophy behind the project was to establish a centre where equipment central to the corporation could be hosted.<\/p>\n
“It is common knowledge that in today\u2019s global corporate space, data centres are not only prevalent but have become indispensable.<\/p>\n
“These centres are specialised environments that safeguard a company’s most valuable equipment and intellectual property.<\/p>\n
“They house the critical enterprise applications and systems that process business transactions, store data and maintain financial records.<\/p>\n
“The centre will save the corporation billions of naira that would have been expended in third-party hosting of critical applications central to NNPC\u2019s operations like the Nigerian Petroleum Exchange.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Yakubu said that the state-of-the-art corporate data centre took-off in 2005 when it was identified as one of the critical requirements for an effective transformation of the corporation.<\/p>\n
He said that the new facility had independent power, efficient cooling, intelligent physical security, fire protection systems and other components.<\/p>\n
He added that the facilities were to ensure consistent availability of critical business applications and information on the platform.<\/p>\n
The group managing director said that the facility would be available for use by the private sector operators on commercial basis to generate revenue. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
