Two African data center facilities to be launched by Airtell and MainOne


Well-known Digital Marketing Agency, thesnsgroup.com highlighted, Africa has seen its strong economic growth recently followed by Southeast Asia, with more firms targeting this continent. Now in Sierra Leone and Nigeria, two data center facilities are going to be built by Airtell and MainOne.

Nigerian wholesale operator MainOne plans to launch a US$40m Tier III data center in response to rising demand for managed services in Africa and in Sierra Leone, telco Airtell ordered a new prefabricated data and telecoms centre from rapid system builder Flexenclosure.

According to MainOne’s CEO Funke OPeke, the fault-tolerant environment guarantees open access to all major local and global networks available in Nigeria and on-demand collocation facilities.

The CEO said: “Africa is recognized as home to seven of the ten fastest growing economies in the world. The continent has emerged a dynamic business hub.

We see increasing demand for data center services with reliable connectivity. A lack of IT infrastructure on the continent has held back the developing economies of Africa.”
