ONIX DATA CENTRES SET UP IN SENEGAL

ONIX, a leader in the construction and operation of data centres, has just signed a contract with the La Colombe group for the construction of the first CLS carrier neutral data centre in Senegal.

With the start of operations scheduled for the first quarter of 2024, this new data centre is being built in Almadies on a surface area of 600 m², at the landing station of the 2AFRICA submarine cable. This exceptional location will enable ONIX to provide its customers with high-speed services with almost zero latency. Equipped with the latest security, cooling, power supply and redundancy technologies to meet Uptime tier 3 certification, this centre will ensure maximum energy efficiency by using mainly renewable energy.

This infrastructure will support African digitalisation and digital sovereignty by providing secure data storage solutions.

With its first data centre in Accra, Ghana, ONIX's vision is to establish a pan-African digital platform that will provide broadband connectivity services to banks and financial institutions, businesses and public institutions. Senegal will play a very important role in the development of data centres in West Africa thanks to its high quality electricity network and connectivity options. Through this project, estimated at more than 6.7 million USD, ONIX Datacenter is proud to participate in the development of the Senegalese economy by creating direct and indirect jobs, but also in its positioning as a digital hub in the subregion.

With AIIM as its main financial partner, highly qualified human resources and the best of technology, ONIX is positioned as a leader in the segment in Africa.
