The Raxio Group has appointed Master Power Technologies to develop data centers across Africa.
Raxio launched a new 400 rack facility in Kampala, Uganda in May 2021. The company is planning developments in Mozambique, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and has further investments planned for the Ivory Coast and Tanzania later in 2021.
Master Power will provide design localization, supply, installation, and commissioning of all technical areas across Raxio’s sites.
All the facilities are being designed and developed in compliance with Uptime Institute’s Tier III standard and will deliver power densities up to 21 kW per rack.
Established in 2018 by Roha Group, Raxio plans to build up to 12 facilities across Africa within three years. Earlier in 2021, fund manager Meridiam invested USD 48 million into the company to fund its expansion.
Master Power also offers wholesale colocation services through its Digital Parks Africa (DPA) sister company, which owns a Tier-III certified facility in Centurion, South Africa.
