MDXI’s 600 rack facility in Lekki is the premier commercial
Data Center in West Africa built to meet the rapidly growing demand for colocation,
managed hosting and cloud services within the region, reports ITRealms.
MDXI is MainOne’s data
centre subsidiary, which ITRealms reported,
recently received its Tier III Constructed Facility certification (TCCF) from
the Uptime Institute.
With this new milestone, MDXI becomes the leading Data
center in West Africa with the top 5 certifications in the industry, being the
Tier III Constructed Facility certification, TCCF, the PCI-DSS certification
which certifies the Data center to process payment card information, the SAP
Infrastructure Services license which certifies the Data Center as ideal for
running SAP applications and infrastructure, and ISO 27001 and 9001
certifications.
This TCCF certification is awarded by the Uptime Institute
as a performance-based evaluation of a data centre’s concurrently maintainable
site infrastructure. Tier Certification of Constructed Facility is a
progression from Tier Certification of Design Documents (TCDD) and goes beyond
the review of paper designs to rigorous on-site testing to root out
discrepancies between the actual installation and design.
The multiple certifications of MainOne’s MDXI demonstrate
compliance to globally accepted standards on high availability, commitment
towards the security and protection of the information assets of the company
and its customers, and provides assurance of the quality of the Data Centre’s
infrastructure and ability to react to disruptions due to unplanned activities.
MDXI’s 600 rack facility in Lekki is the premier commercial
Data Center in West Africa built to meet the rapidly growing demand for
Colocation, Managed Hosting and Cloud services within the region. General
Manager of MDXI, Gbenga Adegbiji announced that the certification further
validates the company’s investment in critical infrastructure to grow West
Africa’s Digital Economy.
“With the increased recognition of Africa as home of fast
growing economies, it is important that we have the infrastructure required to
establish, enhance and sustain effective business performance in today’s global
digital economy. Outsourcing of Data Center services to a reputable provider
such as MDXI ensures businesses can adopt more cost effective models of
consuming technology to allow increased focus on business development and
growth. As we build a data centre ecosystem spanning facilities across West
Africa, we plan to launch new Tier III data centres in Sagamu, by Q4 2018,
Ghana in 2019 and Cote I’voire in 2020.”
On presentation of the Tier III Constructed Facility
certification (TCCF) award, President of Uptime Institute, Lee Kirby said “We
congratulate MainOne’s Data Centre Company, MDXI on receiving their Tier III
Constructed Facility Certification Documents. This is indeed a significant step
for the region and we look forward to working with them as they build multiple
facilities across West Africa”.
