Background
A leading data centre provider in Nigeria required a state-of-the-art and fully customised prefabricated modular data centre to be implemented in Lagos, the country’s largest city.
Together with additional landing points, including one in Ghana, this critical digital infrastructure forms part of a growing subsea network connecting West Africa to the global undersea cable system.
Results
- By delivering a customised integrated infrastructure solution aligned with the customer’s design requirements and completing the project within six months, the customer expanded and enhanced its renowned data centre services.
- As the first major prefabricated data centre in Nigeria directly leveraging a cable landing station, the project established a strong foundation for regional connectivity.
- By integrating with subsea networks across Nigeria and Ghana, the facility enhances low-latency access and positions West Africa as a more prominent participant in global digital traffic flows.
- The client has indicated that this project is just one phase of many to support growing digitalisation in Africa and has since launched a third local facility.
