Medallion’s Data Center Services (Need for Data Centers in Nigeria)
There is a regulatory requirement by the central bank of Nigeria for all banks to localize their data storage and move them to tier-3 data centers. This calls for the establishment of new data centers in several states of Nigeria. There are 36 states in Nigeria including the federal capital making it 37
Less than 5% of the .Ng domains are hosted in Nigeria – there is a requirement to change that and ensure that over 90% of the .NG domains are hosted locally in Nigeria. This calls for datacenters in country
The national broadband plan calls for provision of infrastructure in all states of Nigeria. Lagos represents less than 15% of the entire country population, yet 80% of the current ICT infrastructure and services. This means a large part of the country still need to be provided with adequate ICT services. This calls for data centers in all the 36 states of the country
The user experience for critical services outside of Lagos is still poor since the users have to access servers located outside of Nigeria using the internet. Following google; Facebook, yahoo, etc. are now seeking to locate their servers in Nigeria and closer to the end users for better user experience and more advert revenue
There is great push for development of local contents and the hosting of the contents in-country for national security reasons and ease of access / support
Several Nigerian states are implementing smart cities – delta, Lagos, kano, Calabar, etc. These initiatives require top tier data centers
The recent global cyber-security attacks calls for more localization of critical and sensitive data and the creation of several disaster recovery sites. This means Nigeria need to have several top tier data centers spread across the country
The current economic situation means that ISPS and other industries cannot afford to host their content in foreign lands where they have to pay in foreign currency. This calls for local hosting at Naira based charges
