On July 20th 2018 Raxio Data Centre Ltd (“Raxio”), a subsidiary of First Brick Holdings Inc. (FBH), itself a subsidiary of Roha Incorporated- announced they were setting up East Africa’s first tier III, truly carrier-neutral and enterprise grade co-location data centre. Seventeen (17) months later, all the relevant regulatory approvals including an Environment Impact Asset (EIA) certificate have been secured and construction is in full gear. To date 80% of all civil works and up to 60% of mechanical and electrical (M&E) works are done. The centre is expected to go live in Q1 2020.
Today, we recap the 17 months journey and where the project has reached thus far.
