Making Local Cloud Hosting Work for Your Business
Making Local Cloud Hosting Work for Your Business
As Nigerian businesses rethink where critical workloads and data should be hosted, local cloud infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation.
The recent CBN directive on storing payment transaction data generated in Nigeria on local infrastructure has brought new attention to data residency, compliance, resilience, security, and infrastructure readiness. But moving workloads locally is not simply a matter of changing server location. Businesses must also consider performance, cost, connectivity, redundancy, operational control, and the tools required to manage these systems effectively.
Join PipeOps and Layer3 for a practical conversation on what local cloud hosting means for businesses in Nigeria and the key decisions teams need to make before moving critical workloads.
The session will explore:
What the recent CBN directive means for businesses
The business case for local cloud hosting
Cost, performance, latency, and infrastructure control
Compliance, data residency, and security considerations
Resilience, redundancy, and operational risks
How to evaluate local, global, and hybrid hosting models
Which workloads may be suitable for local infrastructure
The conversation will feature Samuel Ogbonyomi, CEO of PipeOps, and Raphael Daniel, Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Layer3, who brings eight years of experience designing and scaling enterprise-grade cloud environments.
This event is for founders, CTOs, infrastructure leaders, DevOps teams, compliance professionals, product leaders, and business decision-makers evaluating local or hybrid cloud infrastructure for critical services.
