iXAfrica Data Centre, East and Central Africa’s largest hyperscale, carrier-neutral, AI-ready facility, will collaborate with Oracle as the host partner for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) region in Nairobi, Kenya.
Announced by H.E. President William Ruto in January 2024, this new public cloud region will help meet strong demand for OCI services in Kenya.
OCI’s selection of iXAfrica as its colocation partner reflects its position as Kenya’s most execution-ready hyperscale data centre facility.
Purpose-built to global cloud standards, iXAfrica combines carrier neutrality, high-density AI capability, resilient power architecture, and proximity to critical connectivity infrastructure. This makes it the only facility currently in the market capable of supporting immediate public cloud deployments at scale.
“We are delighted to be in execution mode to bring OCI to Kenya,” said Snehar Shah, CEO, iXAfrica. “With this collaboration, iXAfrica is leveraging the renewable energy, talent, and abundant submarine and national connectivity available in our market.”
“Around the world, governments and enterprises rely on OCI for its security, scalability and ability to run mission-critical workloads that enable innovation at scale,” saidDavid Bunei, Country Leader Kenya, Oracle. “These unique capabilities and our collaboration with iXAfrica will further support the growth of the country’s digital economy.”
