The seminar, which will start from 9am, has Mehdi Paryavi, president, DCA, TechXact Group, as guest of honour; Chidi Umeano, deputy director, CBN, as guest speaker; Brian Mcleary, commercial counsellor, US Embassy, as keynote speaker, while Solomon Edun, managing director, Global InfoSwift, is the chief host.

The training session starts from May 27 and ends May 30, at Radisson Blue Anchorage Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

According to Paryavi, the seminar is targeted at anyone financing, designing, planning, managing, investing, making decision or involved in any way with data centres. “This event is aimed to help the stakeholders understand the complexities, create awareness of the best practices, the international norms, past, present and future of data centre and data management systems, latest trends, methodologies, technologies and approach,” he said.

TechXact provides the most unique and comprehensive data centre training programmes worldwide, specifically designed for executives, CIOs, CTOs, ICT, and data centre managers, consultants, senior operators, project managers, engineers, designers, and planners.

Paryavi said the main challenge in data centres today was that issues were not being handled by the right people, saying “unfortunately, the challenges today are mostly being addressed by vendors which are not the ideal pursuit for the Information Technology (IT) industry.”
