Airtel Seychelles are now welcoming local and international companies to make use of their data storage facility which recently opened at Perseverance.
“To be part of the data value chain which include processing, analytics, storage, security and intellectual property, we need a certain amount of connectivity and a certain number of data centres to be present in the country. So, this project is exciting, not just because it is a data storage centre but it is one that breaks new ground in technology development.
Since we are storing data from various companies, we have to ensure that it is safe from any eventuality. That is why we have invested in redundancies for all our equipment, to ensure that the data centre is always running, no matter what’s going on outside.
Safety and effective operations of the data centre is important to us and here in this room is where a group of workers keep tabs on everything going on in the data centre, along with all of the other Airtel operations, such as internet traffic and networks.
Businesses can count on our 24/7, 365 days network operation centre for monitoring, notification and resolution services for data centres and wide area network services. By co-locating local and international customer’s equipment within the data centre, Airtel offers the possibility to lower connectivity costs while increasing scalability and reliability.”
