iXAfrica Data Centre operates a single hyperscale campus in Nairobi, Kenya, selling colocation, connectivity, and hosting services rather than running facilities purely for its own use. Its flagship building, NBOX1, launched in 2024 in partnership with Schneider Electric and is marketed as East Africa’s first AI-ready hyperscale data centre, with an operating IT capacity of 4.5MW within a campus designed for 22.5MW overall. The company has positioned itself as a hosting partner for major cloud players, becoming the local host for Oracle’s first OCI public cloud region in Kenya (announced 2026), and for a Kenya Internet Exchange Point (KIXP) peering PoP established at the facility in early 2025. iXAfrica is backed by a reported $50 million investment from Helios Investment Partners and says the campus can support GPU-dense AI racks up to 50kW using free-air cooling, drawing on Kenya’s largely renewable grid. As of 2025, iXAfrica has also announced plans for two further Nairobi facilities — NBOX1.2 and an 11-acre NBOX2 campus in Tilisi — though these were still in development rather than operating at time of research.

A human decides whether each page is published, but individual facts — addresses, contact details, and whether a company operates in a given location — are not independently fact-checked by us. Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it. Companies open, close, relocate, and change contact details without always updating public records, so treat everything here as a starting point, not a confirmed source.
