By Bankole Orimisan

FOR commercial businesses to demystify ways and pattern in which they operating businesses in the country, Sunnet Systems and Datacoms Services Limited in partnership with IBM has initiated cloud infrastructure to enterprises in Nigeria.

    Speaking shortly after a lecture tagged: “Dynamic Infrastructure and Cloud Computing” in Lagos recently, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Sunnet, Mr. Paul Olagunjoye said that Nigeria cannot pretend to be an ostrich that buries its head in the sand thinking that no one else is seeing the other parts of its body.

      According to him, “technology today is converging and Nigeria must take advantage of existing technology to improve the way we live our life and the way we do our business.

    “Dynamic infrastructure is one of those technologies that will help organisation to effectively manage their infrastructure and deliver values to their customers. What we are saying is, what happen for instance, if your network is down and you are mobile operator that means people cannot make call to your network and the more the number of people, who cannot make call the more the revenue you are losing on a daily basis,” he said.

     He said his firm determined to help enterprises to be able to respond promptly to customers’ demands. “So,  we want to help organisation to be able to respond positively and very quickly to their customer requirements whether you are a bank, a telecom operator or a government institution, you need a dynamic infrastructure that  allows your applications to run decently, effectively at a very reduce cost.” That is the whole concept of dynamic infrastructure.

   The cloud-based technology, like the name implies, all of us, one way on the other, make of use of the Internet for one reason or the other. Cloud computing concept implies that you put your infrastructure, your application in the cloud and they can be accessed via the web through the Internet wherever they are and whenever you need it and that means that you can be in the middle of the night you remember you need to pay for your supplier, you don’t have to until 10 am when the office or the bank open before you begin to pay and you can start to pay them, if you wake up in the middle of the night, you can issue instruction to them immediately and your supplier can get paid,” he explained, adding that it then showed that one can be more effective, efficient and  can be able to get good service as at when due.
