Cloud Services for Government and Enterprise
Suburban Cloud provides ministries, departments, agencies and large enterprises with infrastructure hosted and operated in Nigeria, including dedicated Virtual Data Centres and billing by invoice in Naira.
Overview
Public institutions and large organisations require clear control over where data is held, who can administer it and how services are procured. Suburban Cloud operates from a Data Centre in Abuja, run by a Nigerian company, with workloads, backups and logs kept in the country.
Our platform runs on Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure, which allows existing virtualised applications to be moved with limited redesign. Our commercial terms accommodate invoice-based procurement in Naira.
