SAP certification confirms MDXi’s cloud and infrastructure operations capabilities  

The new systems application and products (SAP) specialisation certification attained by MainOne’s data centre subsidiary, MDXi, confirms the ability of the company to deliver high-quality cloud and infrastructure operations services for customers running SAP solutions and recognises the company as the region’s first SAP certified data centre, experts say.

The certification will enable MDXi to host and manage SAP applications utilising the company’s enterprise cloud platforms, across its private, public and hybrid cloud solutions, via a consumption-based delivery model. As a SAP-certified provider of hosting services, MDXi will offer a cost-effective, yet reliable delivery model for mission-critical applications for customers of SAP.  SAP customers that rely on MainOne’s data centre for hosting services will be empowered to focus on the business value of their solutions and benefit from reduced operational expenses that a commercial data centre provides.

Receiving the certificate, Funke Opeke, the CEO of MainOne, said: “We are pleased to receive the SAP certification for Infrastructure Operations Services, as it validates our commitment to providing world-class data centre and cloud solutions in Nigeria. With this certification from SAP, it is now possible for Nigerian enterprises and businesses to host SAP applications in-country on MDXi’s Cloud platform and optimise their accounting processes, data analytics and sales chain management. This will improve response times for SAP applications, ensure data security and assure more cost effective subscription charges.”

In his comments during the award presentation to MDXi, Kudzai Danha, managing director of SAP West Africa, said, “More than ever, SAP Africa is excited about the certification of MainOne as the first Infrastructure Operations Services partner.

This means MainOne Data Centre is now SAP HANA ready and well positioned to support SAP customers who want to innovate and redesign their business processes. The current market demands attractive business applications that are simple and fast. The cloud technology presents the market with such great business opportunities,” he added.

SAP HANA Cloud is an in-memory platform that runs analytics applications smarter, business processes faster, and data infrastructures simpler! It is the foundation for all the data needs of a business, removing the burden of maintaining separated legacy systems and siloed data, so business can run simple in this new digital economy.
