Roads Authority Namibia (RA) is the latest client to sign up to the new Paratus Namibia Armada Data Center (DC) in Windhoek.
The RA’s data migration process was fast-tracked in under 24 hours and sees Paratus now providing RA with an internet link for the eNaTIS ‘online renewal’ of license discs services as well as a Layer 2 link from their HQ to the DC itself.
Roads Authority Namibia is responsible for the wider SADC “TRIPS/CTMS” (Corridor Trip Monitoring System) project, and because Namibia was chosen as the region in which data needs to be stored, the Armada DC provides the ideal solution for RA’s data protection.
Sales Account Manager at Paratus, Daniel Joaquim, who managed the process for RA said, “Safety and security of data and equipment is a monumental concern for the association and particularly for the Corridor Trip Monitoring System project. We need to give our clients peace of mind that they can fully trust us with their biggest asset, their data 24/7/365. Data loss or a security breach of any kind would compromise the information of many thousands of clients across Africa and would be catastrophic. Armada protects its client’s against any such risk.”
When asked about the association hosting their data at the Armada DC, Manager: Data Centers & ICT Support for RA’s project, ‘TRIPS’, Jimmy Aoxamub stated: “We are extremely grateful that Paratus was able to provide us with a stable, reliable and secure hosting services at Armada DC.
“Our road ahead will be smooth and direct because, thanks to Paratus, we are fully equipped with the newest and most robust technology.”
Paratus Namibia MD, Andrew Hall said: “Businesses today understand that technological advancement is critical for economic development and, to participate in the 4IR (fourth industrial revolution), they need an independent, secure, and highly sophisticated data center facility to store and protect their data 24/7/365; one that can house and physically protect all equipment and computer systems.”
Armada also offers an array of add-on services and features such as fully equipped boardrooms, high-quality video conferencing facilities and lightning-fast connections. Paratus continues to facilitate growth for all Namibian enterprises, multinationals, and SMEs by continuously looking for opportunity to improve and increase infrastructure across Africa.
