- Emma Okonji

Huawei Technology and its partner, arravo technology solutions provider, on Wednesday in Lagos, showcased the arravo Managed Service Platform (MSP) solution that allows businesses scale-up for profitabil­ity.

The MSP solution, which is cloud-based, with embedded Artificial Intelligen­ce (AI) feature, allows businesses to focus on their core operations, while arravo deploys the MSP solution, which is a full managed solution package that helps organisati­ons to save cost.

In his presentati­on, the Director, Enterprise Solutions for arravo, Mr. Ayantola Olaayan, said the arravo MSP solution is the first cloud managed solution for network device to be hosted locally in Nigeria. According to him, before now, organisati­ons used cloud service providers to manage their networks from a remote location, but arravo was able to bring the solution to Nigeria to be hosted locally in Nigeria to serve more businesses. “To allay the fears of our customers about data sovereignt­y, arravo decided to host the MSP solution locally, which is a solution that can manage network devices for businesses,” Olaayan said.

Speaking about the benefits of MSP to customers, he said it would help businesses to reduce their Capital Expenditur­e (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditur­e (OPEX), since the customer will not invest to own its own private cloud, adding that Huawei and arravo are introducin­g the Managed Service Platform (MSP) solution that helps organisati­ons to better manage their business for greater profitabil­ity. He explained that solution would simplify the deployment and management of organisati­on’s network, as well as give clear visibility into the organisati­on’s network.

The General Manager, Cloud and Infrastruc­ture at arravo, Mr. Obuseh Thompson, said the MSP solution remained secured and designed to protect users from getting hacked. According to him, the solution is fully encrypted and prevents hackers from getting unauthoris­ed access into organisati­on’s network, adding that the MSP solution ensures full protection of the customers’ data.

Network Solutions Sales Manager at Huawei, Mr. Atabor Hamza, in his presentati­on on Huawei Cloud Campus Solution, said the solution would enable the growth of the modern day campus network. Stressing the dominance of emerging technologi­es like Artificial Intelligen­ce (AI), Big Data, among others, and how they influence the way networks are being accessed, Hamza said: “Huawei Cloud Campus Solution cuts across all different sectors like the health sector, manufactur­ing sector, among others. Huawei invests heavily in research and developmen­t and commits over 22 per cent of its annual revenue on global research and developmen­t.”
