The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) yesterday inched closer to its dream of becoming a first class national oil company with the launch of an ultra-modern data centre. The centre is designed for efficiency and minimum environmental impact and built with leading industry standard technologies adjudged by experts to be second to none in the country.
The Group Managing Director, Andrew Yakubu, said this during the inauguration of the centre in Abuja
In a statement the NNPC Acting Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr Fidel Pepple, said Yakubu described the centre as a highly secure, fault-resistant facility, which will be available for use to the private sector and other industry stakeholders on commercial basis to generate revenue for the corporation.
Yakubu said: “During my inaugural address to staff at the amphitheater on July 3, 2012, I marshalled out a line of thought and set agenda, which I believe, with the full support of management and staff will reposition our dear NNPC on the path of growth and profitability. Today, we begin a bold and crucial journey in our collective quest as a corporate entity with an eye for the future by inaugurating the new NNPC Data Centre.”
He said the aim of the project was to establish a centre where equipment central to the corporation could be ept. Thus business applications, such as SAP and Nipex, as well as Microsoft exchange messaging, Intranet systems, and other specialised systems for the NNPC enterprise are hosted on the platform.
The NNPC chief noted that the centre will save the corporation billions of naira that would otherwise have been expended in third-party hosting of critical applications central to NNPC’s operations like NIPEX and SAP.
