Data centres: The secret weapon in Africa’s silent race for digital independence

Gevon Jack
When people think about digital infrastructure in Africa, they often picture the new subsea cables landing on our shores. And those cables, including 2Africa, Equiano, and PEACE, are indeed headline-grabbing. But the real story is less about who lands the biggest pipe and more about what happens once the data comes onshore. That story is about latency, and right now, Africa is in a quiet but critical race to shape its latency future. Latency is about far more than speed. It’s about the cost of delivery, the reliability of services, and how willing users are to stay engaged. A few hundred milliseconds of delay doesn’t sound like much, until you realise ... Read More

GPUs: The supercomputers shaping Africa’s AI future

Gevon Jack
As Africa increasingly leans towards the local development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, one thing has become clear: we need enormous computing power. From preparing datasets to training, testing, deploying, and monitoring models, every stage of AI depends on access to high-performance infrastructure. Until recently, African innovators had to rely on overseas cloud services or invest in prohibitively expensive hardware. The arrival of GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) changes that equation. By delivering advanced compute capacity directly from African data centres, GPUaaS enables developers, researchers, ... Read More
