1.1 Project description

Port-Harcourt city is located in the Niger delta region of Nigeria and is the capital of Rivers
State, as well as the EPG regional headquarters of Shell in Nigeria. The Omagwa
international airport is about 45 minutes drive from Port-Harcourt city center, and two
seaports (Port-Harcourt & Onne) are within the city limits.

The Server Consolidation & Upgrade as well as the Enterprise Storage Systems (ESS)
projects are intended to introduce new high-end servers and storage devices to be hosted
within the Port-Harcourt Data Centre to enable it function as the EPG regional data center.

This means that the computing infrastructure for new high-end servers running SAP for
Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN) as well as Shell EP companies in Africa, would reside in
the PH Data Centre and hence make the Centre the EPG/African regional hub.

Alongside this server consolidation project, the Port-Harcourt Data Centre utilities upgrade
project was initiated to address the problem of unreliable and inadequately sized utilities
(electrical mains and standby power, air conditioning and fire detection) of related utilities
and therefore jeopardize the realization of the EPG regional hub, if utilities related to the
Data Center are left in their present condition.

The scope of the utilities upgrade has been driven by the growth in load of the Port-
Harcourt Data Centre and the requirement to provide clean, and reliable power supply to it.

1.2 Scope of Supply
