PAIX Data Centres to Open High-Tech Facility in Dakar by 2026

PAIX Data Centres, a leading provider of data center services throughout Africa, has unveiled its plans to establish a cutting-edge facility in Dakar, Senegal. This initiative marks an essential phase in PAIX’s strategy to broaden its presence in West Africa and respond to the surging demand for reliable digital infrastructures. By capitalizing on Dakar’s current and upcoming submarine cables such as ACE, MainOne, SAT3, SHARE, and the future 2Africa, PAIX positions this new data center as a crucial node for regional markets.

The forthcoming facility is poised to foster innovation and bolster economic growth by ensuring consistent connectivity and offering premium colocation services. PAIX has already secured the necessary land and is gearing up to construct around 918 square meters of usable data center space empowered by 1.2 megawatts of critical power. The first phase of this ambitious project is expected to become operational by 2026.

Features and Sustainability Goals of the New Facility

The new data center will feature an impressive 1.2 MW IT load, spreading over 900 square meters of colocation space with 330 bays. It is designed to offer robust and secure infrastructure for hosting IT equipment. PAIX’s operational strategy includes optimizing local resources, maintaining efficient temperatures, and conserving cooling water in regions where water is scarce. Additionally, PAIX is setting a high standard for sustainability by committing to operate entirely on renewable energy by 2030, showcasing its dedication to reducing its environmental impact.

This initiative not only aims to fortify the digital infrastructure across West Africa but also seeks to boost regional business activities and enhance economic resilience. Companies in the area will gain from improved access to reliable and advanced digital services, enabling them to compete more effectively on a global scale. Looking forward, PAIX Data Centres remains committed to its mission of developing top-tier data infrastructure that supports sustainable growth and technological progress throughout the continent.
