When Uganda’s first privately owned data and disaster recovery centre starts running in 2019, Ugandan companies will nolonger need to spend vast amounts of money to set up own data centres.
This is according to James Byaruhanga, the General Manager at Raxio Data Centre Ltd- the company that is going to construct the data centre, at the Namanve Industrial and Business Park on the outskirts of Kampala City.
Raxio itself was established earlier this year by Roha, a company that describes itself as a “US greenfield investment company that builds and and develops new businesses across Africa.
In a statement sent to us, Byaruhanga said that the centre is a “timely investment in Uganda’s Knowledge and ICT sector with wide strategic national benefits that go beyond its primary function of serving as a disaster recovery facility.
