Nigeria’s Technology Company, Zinox has relocated its hub from overseas to Nigeria.
Speaking to research fellows on the last day of their industrial attachment at the Zinox factory complex, Ekeh revealed that Zinox made substantial investment in the installation of the hub because of its philosophy that no country can participate and excel in the 21st Century without an IT identity, which acts the role of a digital conscience.
“The Hub would bring relief to many educational institutions beginning from April 2013 when Zinox streams e-Content to educational institutions at half the present cost”, he stated.
Ekeh claimed that Zinox operates the largest E-library domain in Africa and plans to reduce the cost to enable schools take advantage of it.
He told the research fellows that from available records, Zinox has deployed the largest number of E–Libraries in the whole of Africa and powered her new evolution HUB in Lagos to take control of broadband access to many institutions and cities in Nigeria.
His words; “we presently have huge bandwidth resources to meet our customers’ short term and long term needs. Our focus is more on knowledge centers and underserved communities across the country”.
The Zinox Group boss further revealed that “these centers were being serviced from our Washington location but now we have completed test running and have commenced seamless migration of our corporate Customers from our new Hub which runs 24 x 7”. Zinox is also offering additional facilities like NOC to major corporate sponsors to enable them monitor bandwidth consumption, efficiency and effectiveness of the networks deployed nationwide from the comfort of their offices or homes.”
The Zinox New Evolution platform, the Zinox Chairman explained, is efficient, scalable, flexible and is readily available 99 per cent of the time. He said the technology guarantees redundancy Internet access through VSAT and Fiber infrastructure using MPLS technology.
As a self-organizing network with full redundancy the teleport is well backed up with round the clock uninterrupted power and the entire network is installed with N+1 protection which ensures that the Hub has spares in case of service failure.
The Zinox team of skilled, tested, and professional Engineers are already motivated and equipped with Network Management tools to monitor the whole Network round the clock. Customers will get support anytime of the day, all year round, added Ekeh.
The Zinox Boss told the visitors not to lose hope in Nigeria as every developed country in the world passed through these phases to nationhood.
