EdgeNext, a global provider of content delivery and cloud hosting solutions, has officially rolled out its services in Nigeria. This has been achieved through a partnership with Rack Centre. The partnership will see EdgeNext’s CDN and cloud hosting platforms operate from Rack Centre’s facility in Lagos.
Speaking about the launch, Terence Wang, CEO of EdgeNext, said, “By partnering with Rack Centre, we are ensuring secure, reliable, and low-latency services for enterprises, developers, and end-users, helping Nigeria embrace a new era of cloud and edge computing.”
Rack Centre’s CEO, Lars Johannisson, added, “EdgeNext’s arrival at Rack Centre demonstrates the strength of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure ecosystem. Our LGS2 facility provides the capacity, connectivity, and sustainability that international providers need to serve this market effectively.”
Rack Centre’s 13.5MW Lagos campus hosts over 73 carriers, ISPs and network operators. It offers direct access to all subsea cable systems on Africa’s Atlantic coast, including Google’s Equiano cable and the forthcoming 2Africa cable.
