Europe-based IXAfrica announced plans to set up its second data centre hub in Nairobi after the first one was established in 2021.

In the plan, IXAfrica has partnered with real estate developer Tilisi Developments PLC in a transaction that has seen the former sign a term sheet to purchase 11 acres of prime land for the construction of the facility.

Without disclosing the value of the investment, the two firms say that due diligence is currently underway to determine what the exact size of the campus will be, with initial estimates pointing to a 30MW-plus facility.

The duo noted in a joint statement that the agreement marks a significant milestone and represents a major leap forward in advancing the data center infrastructure in East Africa.

“This expansion reaffirms our commitment to the region and our belief in its immense potential for growth and technological advancement,” said IXAfrica chairman Guy Willner.

“With Tilisi’s industrial parks, high-quality development, reliable power and water supply, fresh air, and advantageous altitude for free cooling, this new campus will provide an ideal environment for our data centre operations,” he added.

The new data centre campus is expected to cater for the increasing demand for cloud computing services, digital transformation and edge computing applications across the East African region.

IXAfrica aims to play a pivotal role in bolstering the region’s technology landscape by providing state-of-the-art infrastructure, green power, advanced security measures and efficient cooling solutions.

In 2021, the firm set up its first data centre campus with an overall design capacity of 22.5MW making it the largest data centre project in the region.
