Last week’s launch of the first ever Hyperscale AI-ready Data Centres in Nigeria by Kasi Cloud, will not only drive digital transformation in Africa, but will also help to reverse the trend where critical mass of data are generated in Nigeria, but hosted and processed outside of Nigeria, a development that hitherto negates Nigeria’s sovereignty, writes Emma Okonji

Nigeria and the rest of the world, last week, witnessed the launch of the first ever Hyperscale AI-ready Data Centres in Nigeria, positioned as the single largest data centre in West Africa, designed to deliver AI-era performance, hyperscale capacity and intelligent connectivity for the world’s digital leaders.

The Kasi Cloud LOS1 Data Centre is positioned to enable Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads to lead the next generation of technology for Nigeria, and to enable enterprises to operate at global scale, and individuals to access the latest technologies.

It is designed to create digital employment for Nigerians and improve data connectivity that is currently being provided by exiting Tier 111 data centres in Nigeria.
