Wingu Africa has established a significant milestone in Ethiopia with its data center in Addis Ababa, located within the Ethio ICT Park. This facility is notable as the nation's first carrier-neutral and commercial data center, a move that fosters competition and improves connectivity options for businesses. The center is certified as a Tier 3 Design facility, guaranteeing high availability and reliability for mission-critical operations.
The facility boasts a robust physical infrastructure capable of supporting up to 800 racks, backed by a substantial 10MW of power capacity. To ensure maximum service availability, power is supplied through two separate substations. The center is also equipped with comprehensive utility failure safeguards, including UPS systems and dual generators, maintaining continuous operation even during grid failures.
Connectivity is a core feature of the Addis Ababa data center. Services are provided through multiple feeds by local ISPs Websprix and Ethio Telecom, ensuring reliable access to both national and metro networks. For global reach, international IP and cloud services are delivered through redundant cross-border optical circuits. Furthermore, the center incorporates an Internet Exchange (IX) platform, which is designed to optimize traffic routing and enhance the user experience by keeping local traffic local.
The data center’s physical infrastructure prioritizes both security and efficiency. The facility offers various colocation options, including full cabinets, partial cabinets, and shared rackspace. The standard 42U racks feature an additional 200mm depth, which is essential for optimal wiring, proper airflow, and easy access. Security is maintained through unique locks on each cabinet, 24/7 onsite security staff, CCTV surveillance, and biometric access control.
Operational integrity is preserved through several advanced systems. The equipment integrity is maintained by the cabinet design, which includes perforated front and back doors to enable 86% airflow, preventing overheating. For ultimate protection against physical damage, the facility uses automated inert gas fire suppression systems, which are a highly effective and equipment-safe method for putting out fires. The center also provides Remote Hands services, adding another layer of operational support for clients.
