South African-based datacentre provider, digital Parks Africa (DPA) and Kenya’s iXAfrica DataCentre have entered into a strategic partnership to expand their respective footprints across Southern and East Africa.
The move comes just days after iXAfrica secured a multi-tranche funding package from Rand Merchant Bank.
According to the parties, by collaborating, both firms can offer businesses and multinational clients access to datacentre services across the regions, while enabling clients to leverage points of presence in both regions through a single, integrated solution.
DPA clients will gain access to datacentre services in Kenya, benefiting from the local ecosystem, including fibre and cloud operators. Similarly, iXAfrica customers can tap into DPA’s established infrastructure in South Africa.
IXAfrica noted that the partnership represents the opportunity to create a pan-African digital backbone.
Snehar Shah, CEO of iXAfrica, said: “This partnership is about building bridges across Africa’s digital economy. By aligning with DPA, we’re giving customers the confidence to expand seamlessly across borders with the same reliability, efficiency, and resilience they expect in global markets.”
Wiaan Vermaak, group CCO of Digital Parks Africa, said: “Together, we’re ensuring that Africa is not just consuming technology, but actively shaping the digital future.”
