Ayotunde Coker, chairman of the Africa Data Centres Association.

Cofinity Group, which has been in the data center market for over 15 years, has signed strategic channel partnership agreements with Africa's largest data centre operators.

According to the firm, these include PAIX Data Centres, Rack Centre, Raxio, and Digital Realty, which includes Digital Realty's African subsidiaries iColo, Teraco, and Digital Realty Nigeria.

Cofinity says these data centre providers operate in 11 countries and account for more than 75% of Sub-Saharan Africa's GDP.

According to the company, the rate of technological adoption and digitisation in Africa is growing, necessitating the need for highly secure data centre facilities with reliable levels of power availability, redundancy, and connectivity.

“We have had the privilege of working with the leading data center providers in Africa and we are confident that enterprises will benefit from our deep knowledge and streamlined commercial processes,” says Ray Lawless President of Cofinity Group Inc.

Ayotunde Coker, chairman of the Africa Data Centres Association, comments: “Cofinity Group’s initiative is further evidence of the surging demand in Africa for the services of data center companies.

“We welcome Cofinity Group Inc’s role in bringing together key sectors, such as Fintech, with data center providers in Africa, continuing the transformation of Africa’s digital infrastructure and accelerating economic growth.”

In a statement, Cofinity pointed out that its extensive experience in various markets, as well as close relationships with these data centre operators, provides an opportunity to assist enterprises looking to migrate to a quality colocation data centre solution in Africa.
