As Nigeria’s digital economy experiences unprecedented growth, the demand for robust IT infrastructure and adherence to data sovereignty regulations has become paramount for businesses. FPG Technologies and Solutions, a premier system integrator with a strong foothold in cloud and cybersecurity, has partnered with Nutanix to deliver tailored, scalable, and secure infrastructure solutions to meet these needs.
Nigeria’s regulatory landscape increasingly mandates that businesses store customer data within the country’s borders. This has fuelled a shift toward private cloud solutions, with FPG leveraging Nutanix’s technology to address this challenge.
“Data sovereignty is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a business imperative,” says Emmanuel Ejoor, Head of Engineering at FPG Technologies and Solutions. “With Nutanix’s unified infrastructure, businesses can manage private clouds efficiently, maintaining control over their data while optimizing costs.”
Nutanix’s approach integrates storage, servers, and networking into a unified platform, simplifying IT management. This streamlined solution is helping businesses improve operational efficiency, particularly as many reassess the long-term costs of public cloud models and transition back to on-premise solutions.
FPG’s collaboration with Nutanix began nearly a decade ago, thanks to the foresight of Rex Mafiana, CEO of FPG Technologies. Recognizing the potential of Nutanix early on, Mafiana positioned FPG as a trailblazer in introducing this transformative technology to Nigeria.
“Rex recognized Nutanix’s promise long before others did,” notes Ejoor. “This vision enabled FPG to establish itself as a trusted partner, delivering cutting-edge solutions that have redefined IT infrastructure in Nigeria.”
FPG’s success with Nutanix stems from more than just technology—it’s rooted in trust, collaboration, and a shared vision for Nigeria’s IT future. Nutanix’s emphasis on local engagement has been instrumental in building its reputation as a reliable partner for mission-critical deployments.
“FPG is integral to our growth in Nigeria,” says Tunde Abagun, Sales Lead for West, East, and Central Africa at Nutanix. “Their deep market understanding, commitment to customer success, and proactive support make them an outstanding ambassador for the Nutanix brand.”
Through regular customer engagement, on-site support, and proactive maintenance, FPG ensures businesses have the confidence and tools to manage their IT infrastructure effectively.
Nigeria, with a population exceeding 200 million and a burgeoning tech-savvy workforce, presents immense opportunities for cloud and IT services. Banking and telecommunications sectors, in particular, are driving demand for secure, scalable solutions.
“Nigerian businesses generate vast amounts of data daily,” explains Ejoor. “Sectors like banking and telecoms require infrastructure that scales with their growth. Nutanix provides the reliability and scalability they need, offering peace of mind and future-proofing their operations.”
FPG is committed to strengthening its Nutanix partnership further. Plans include certifying its engineering team on advanced Nutanix tracks, ensuring continued delivery of cutting-edge solutions while achieving higher partnership milestones.
“Innovation, customer satisfaction, and local expertise are at the core of what we do,” says Ejoor. “With Nutanix, we’re not just addressing today’s challenges but laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s opportunities.”
Together, FPG Technologies and Nutanix are setting a benchmark for IT and cloud solutions in Nigeria. Their partnership exemplifies how the right technology and support can empower businesses to thrive in dynamic and competitive markets.
