KAMPALA- Raxio Data Centre, Uganda’s first carrier-grade, Tier III certified carrier and cloud-neutral data centre, has launched Uganda’s Data Centre Landscape 2025 Report.
The report provides a detailed breakdown of the trends, challenges, and opportunities that are actively shaping the data centre and digital infrastructure landscape across the continent, with particular focus on the rapidly evolving digital economy of Uganda.
Four core drivers of transformation are identified within the report: the upsurge in cloud adoption, the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), stricter data sovereignty and compliance frameworks, and the growing relevance of sustainability in infrastructure development.
Specific challenges hindering full scale adoption of digital solutions are also highlighted in the report, such as unreliability in power supply and high capital requirements.
In her remarks at the launch, Caroline Kamaitha, General Manager of Raxio Data Centre Uganda underscored the value that data centre solutions contribute to digital resilience and economic progress.
“Uganda and Africa as a whole are at a pivotal point in their digital evolution. As the backbone of the Internet and cloud-based services, data centres are not only powering businesses but also advancing public services, financial services, education, and healthcare.
This report highlights the urgent need for robust, secure, and sustainable infrastructure to support our continent’s digital ambitions,” Caroline Kamaitha said.
In the report, data centres are positioned as enablers of long term transformation, more so as Uganda experiences increased climate volatility and anticipates a surge in data demands from the fintech, telecom, and public sectors.
“This consolidated report gives insights into the market trends and opens up the conversation on how the industry can collaborate and partner to address the challenges and opportunities towards a digitally resilient Uganda,” said Caroline Kamaitha. “From our operations at Raxio to industry wide initiatives, our goal is to create infrastructure that’s not only reliable but environmentally conscious, scalable, and inclusive,” she added.
