Atlancis Technologies, through its Servernah Cloud brand, has announced the successful delivery and deployment of East and Central Africa’s first GPU-powered Artificial Intelligence (AI) factory. The facility is hosted at iXAfrica Data Centres, Kenya’s leading AI-ready, carrier-neutral data hub.
This launch marks a defining moment in Africa’s digital transformation, symbolizing a shift from reliance on foreign infrastructure to digital sovereignty. By enabling enterprises, government bodies, and innovators to build, train, and deploy AI models locally, the initiative positions Africa to take charge of its own AI future. The project also aims to catalyze AI adoption by making GPU computing power accessible within the region.
Built on Open Compute Project (OCP) design principles and powered by NVIDIA GPUs, the Servernah AI-as-a-Service platform delivers hyperscale-level compute optimized for Africa’s unique operating conditions. Offered as a cloud service, the platform supports high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics workloads with a focus on scalability, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
“This is more than HPCs and GPUs, it’s the heart of Africa’s AI revolution. We are proving that world-class innovation can be designed, built, and powered from within Africa.” – Daniel Njuguna, Founder and CEO, Atlancis Technologies.
“AI ready infrastructure was always going to be the first step to unlocking Africa’s AI opportunity and setting us up to taking more control of the intelligence future, through these partnerships we will see adoption rapidly scale upwards in all sectors.” – Michael Michie Co-founder and CEO, Everse Technology.
The AI infrastructure is housed within iXAfrica’s NBO1 campus, East Africa’s first hyperscale, AI-ready data centre. Designed for next-generation workloads, the facility delivers power densities of up to 50 kW per rack, backed by a green energy grid, carrier-neutral interconnectivity, and Tier III-certified reliability.
With 99.999% uptime and low-latency network performance, iXAfrica offers an optimal foundation for AI-driven operations, enabling seamless scalability, energy efficiency, and resilience for Africa’s growing digital ecosystem.
“At iXAfrica, we see this deployment as a defining step in Africa’s AI infrastructure story. Partnerships like this are how we build the foundation for Africa’s intelligent future, locally powered and globally competitive.” – Snehar Shah, CEO, iXAfrica Data Centre.
