21st Century Technologies Limited, a digital infrastructure company and Oracle have combined forces to solving Nigeria’s problem across different industries by deploying the first oracle Exadata@customer cloud infrastructure for organisations who desire cloud benefits.
The oracle Exadata@customer cloud infrastructure would enable organisations to deploy solutions that offer high performance, increased agility, efficiency, and innovation for their customers while also complying with all data and security laws.
In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP, the chairman of 21st Century Technologies, Mr Wale Ajisebutu emphasized that organizations will be able to locate Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer directly in their own data centers and be able to simultaneously benefit from the managed service advantages offered by 21st Century Technologies.
Mr Wale who further elaborated that, “The Exadata Cloud@Customer is ideal for customers desiring cloud benefits but cannot move their databases to the public cloud due to sovereignty laws, industry regulations, corporate policies, security requirements and network latency. The solution will however deliver the world’s most advanced database cloud to customers who require their databases to be located on-premises.”
In the same vein, the country head, Oracle Cloud Nigeria, Uzoma Ekwebelem, added that the Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer will provide all customers with the needed conditions relating to on-site maintenance of data and security standards with the “cloud as you pay” model for organizations that do not want to move their own data to the public cloud environment.
Instead of investing in hardware for peak usage moments, users can use only as much capacity as they need with 21st Century cloud services, and they can increase or decrease this capacity according to their needs during the service period, Ekwebelem stated, adding that in this way, companies can access the capacity and Oracle licenses they need while reducing their hardware costs with the “pay-as-you-go”model.
