The choice of data center is essential as the security of the most sensitive data is at stake.
This choice may prove all the more critical as it will be difficult to switch providers afterwards, without risking exposure to a more or less prolonged service interruption.
The geographical location of the data centre will also be an important criterion to consider. While the cloud enables remote access to applications and data regardless of one's location within the territory, for a CIO and the organisation they represent, the advantage of having a data centre in close proximity in Cameroun may prove essential for any organisation seeking to minimise the risks associated with the operation of its IT services.
The ability to benefit from on-site support from experts for one's infrastructure (equipment, electrical cabling, networks, deliveries, etc.), to be able to dispatch part of one's technical teams directly on-site, and therefore to know that the IT environment in which data is hosted is physically and rapidly accessible, is a powerful reassurance message.
By choosing proximity hosting for your equipment and server racks, you indirectly strengthen the access and availability of applications used by your teams, and contribute to the smooth running of your business operations.
