Document background
The Colocation Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for businesses seeking to house their IT infrastructure in third-party facilities within Nigeria. This document is essential when organizations need to establish a presence in professional data centers or telecommunications facilities without building their own infrastructure. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law and regulations including the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 and relevant NCC guidelines, covers critical aspects such as space allocation, power provision, cooling services, security protocols, and operational procedures. It's particularly relevant in Nigeria's growing digital economy where businesses increasingly rely on shared infrastructure to maintain their technical operations while managing costs and ensuring compliance with local regulations. The Colocation Agreement becomes necessary when companies need reliable infrastructure support, want to ensure business continuity, or require access to professional data center facilities with proper environmental controls and security measures.
