Unicloud Africa, the premier pan-African cloud platform dedicated to advancing the continent’s digital sovereignty, has launched its enterprise-grade Sovereign Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure in six African countries – Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, Senegal, and Mozambique.

With the launch, which was announced at a press conference in Lagos, Unicloud Africa said it is set to redefine Africa’s digital landscape by empowering enterprise and governments with unprecedented control and performance.

Speaking at the press conference, CEO of Unicloud Africa, Mr. Ladi Okuneye, explained that the platform remained the foundation for Africa’s true Digital and Financial Independence.

According to him, Unicloud Africa will be offering financial sovereignty and predictable costs that will help drive local traffic by keeping local data local within Nigeria, in order to eliminate the financial uncertainty and hidden costs that hinder growth.

It will also offer local currency billing to enable enterprises pay for world-class cloud services in their local currency, eliminating the burden of foreign exchange (FX) volatility and unpredictable costs.

It will also offer Zero Data Egress Fees, thus ensuring no data egress fees, and also ensuring predictable monthly billing and allowing businesses to retrieve their own data freely, which is a major cost differentiator. According to him, the platform is delivered on a flexible pay-per-use OpEx model, freeing up business capital by removing the need for significant CapEx on IT infrastructure
