Unicloud Africa Limited has announced the rollout of its sovereign cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure in six African nations: Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, Senegal, and Mozambique.
The initiative aims to bolster the continent’s digital sovereignty by providing local cloud solutions that serve both public and private sector stakeholders, offering an alternative to international cloud providers often associated with high costs and regulatory challenges.
The new infrastructure is built on three core principles: cost control, sovereignty, and performance. It features local currency billing and removes data egress fees, enabling greater financial predictability for users. Sensitive data is hosted and processed locally to meet regulatory standards for sectors such as finance, healthcare, and public administration.
The platform promises a high availability rate of 99.999% and adheres to international security standards ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. Additionally, it offers GPU-as-a-Service, supporting the deployment of AI projects across the continent.
This initiative is part of Unicloud Africa’s broader ‘One Cloud, One Africa’ strategy.
