The Paratus Group says it will deploy a data centre in Lusaka later in July, claiming it will be the most advanced DC in Zambia. Paratus Zambia MD Marius van Vuuren said the centre will store and protect client data around the clock, house and physically protect all equipment and computer systems, handle off-site migration, and offer a range of add-on services and features.
The Paratus Group will open a data centre in Namibia soon, too, MD of Paratus Namibia Andrew Hall said such is the demand that, despite being in the construction stages, it has already signed up a large number of tenants. The data centre in Namibia will be Tier 3 by design and will incorporate green building elements to reduce environmental impact.
The pandemic has accelerated the pace of reliance upon unlimited and quality internet connections. With this shift to working in the digital data space, Paratus Group said business data security is compromised, and this is why switching to an off-site data centre is the safest way to safeguard company information.
