Raxio has officially launched what it calls Uganda’s first state-of-the-art Tier III carrier-neutral data centre at its site in the Kampala Industrial and Business Park (KIBP).
Raxio says it will work towards supporting industries that are facing increasingly complex and unique IT and regulatory challenges by providing secure colocation space of up to 400 racks ready to house mission-critical IT infrastructure in a 24/7 redundant environment.
The data centre brings the “metro edge” data centre model to Africa, allowing for the exchange of data traffic in facilities located close to urban centres in state-of-the-art, hyperscale-ready environments.
James Byaruhanga, the General Manager of Raxio Data Centre said, “Construction of our flagship facility has been a long but rewarding journey to this point that we are launching operations. Raxio Data Centre is a dream come true, with our Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute we believe that this facility will be a bedrock for increased economic development in Uganda as it will attract several opportunities for colocation not only regionally but also internationally. We look forward to the positive impact of our facility across the enterprise and SME markets and on key industries such as financial services, content, and media.
