At the recent Connect Xperience event, TelCables Nigeria unveiled how Clouds2Africa, a locally hosted cloud solution, is transforming the way businesses in Nigeria access, manage, and expand their digital resources.
“Clouds2Africa is tailored to Nigeria’s unique business environment”, explained Israel Ogboi, Pre-Sales Engineer at TelCables Nigeria. “With its scalable infrastructure, robust security protocols and user-friendly interface, our solution rivals – and in some cases surpasses – the more complex international cloud offerings.” Hosted in two Tier III data centres in Lagos, the platform guarantees lower latency, full compliance with local regulations and enhanced reliability.
In a live demo, Israel showed how businesses can efficiently scale operations and securely store data while meeting performance expectations. He also highlighted ACloudConnect, a hybrid Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) option that provides secure, dedicated links between on-premises infrastructure and global cloud providers – bypassing the public internet and reducing vulnerability.
Despite existing challenges such as policy constraints and talent shortages, Ogboi noted that TelCables is working closely with government and partners to drive skills development and cloud literacy. “We’re debunking myths and breaking barriers. Through events like Connect Xperience and our local Partner Enablement Program, we’re enabling ISPs and resellers to adopt revenue-sharing models and deliver future-ready cloud services,” he said.
Fernando Fernandes, CEO of TelCables Nigeria, added: “Backed by Angola Cables’ extensive global infrastructure – including an integrated subsea cable network and over 300 cloud onramps – we’re positioning Nigeria at the heart of Africa’s digital future. Our mission is to empower local businesses with the tools they need to compete globally.”
