The cyber protection group, Acronis, announced a new Cyber Cloud Data Center- a cyber protection center in Lagos, Niga © ria. One of the 111 new data centers deployed by the company, it aims to provide protection solutions, faster access, continuous data availability and data sovereignty for customers.
The data center deployed in Nigeria is part of the Acronis Global/Local Initiative, which includes global management for all data centers, geographic redundancy and control for local partners, along with a local disaster recovery site. The objective of this initiative is to ensure that service providers do not have problems meeting the performance and data compliance requirements needed by customers.
Currently, Acronis has more than 40 data centers in Europe, Asia, USA and Africa. The new data center means that Nigeria's local service providers will have their own site in the country to store critical business data for their customers.
