Kenya Data Center Market – Segmentation

  • The data center market in Kenya in relation to the server infrastructure grows along with the increasing data traffic. With regard to the server infrastructure, the demand for ODM servers among the large data center operators in the market is also increasing.
  • In Kenya, due to the instability of the power grid, most data center operators use N + 1 redundancy for generators with a fuel reserve of more than 72 hours. For example the data center system Pan African IX (PAIX) in Nairobi-1 in Nairobi is installed with N + 1 backup generators.
  • The introduction of water- and air-based cooling (free cooling) is likely to gain in importance as Kenya Data centers experience a cold winter season. In Kenya, data center facilities mostly use water chillers and precision air cooling to keep the system running.

Kenya Data Center Market – Dynamics

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has got traffic from March 2020. Demand for data centers increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in increased access to internet-related services backed by a nationwide government curfew. Kenya’s digital economy has boomed in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the adoption of digital platforms in retail and wholesale businesses across the country, prompting employees to work from home, resulting in the need for remote facility management. Colocation service providers saw heavy use of their data center space by existing customers due to the rise in COVID-19-induced demand. In Kenya, data center operators have also made arrangements to manage the available staff and monitor their existing facilities without service interruption. The impact of the operations in the country is minor.
