IXAfrica Data Centre is a Kenyan colocation and carrier-neutral data center operator whose flagship campus, NBOX1, sits on Mombasa Road in Nairobi and is marketed as East Africa’s first and largest hyperscale, AI-ready facility. As of 2025 the operational NBOX1 building delivers 4.5MW of IT power across 780 racks and three data halls, with the wider Nairobi campus designed for 22.5MW once fully built out, and the site was selected in 2025 as the colocation host for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s first public cloud region in Kenya. Backed by a $50 million investment from Helios Investment Partners and built in partnership with Schneider Electric on land that was formerly part of a Schneider Electric complex, IXAfrica positions itself around what its chairman calls ‘The Big Edge’ — bringing hyperscale-grade digital infrastructure to a major African population center that has historically lacked it. The company has also acquired 11 acres in Tilisi, on Nairobi’s outskirts, for a planned second campus (NBOX2), though as of the most recent reporting that site remained in due-diligence/pre-construction stage rather than an operating facility.
