Overview

ARIF GROUP's data centre solutions practice encompasses the full lifecycle of data infrastructure, from greenfield Tier III and Tier IV facility development and construction through to colocation services, cloud hosting, managed services, and AI-optimised computing infrastructure.

Africa alone is estimated to need over 1,000MW of new data centre capacity by 2030, yet current investment is heavily concentrated in South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya, leaving vast data deserts across the continent. ARIF GROUP is actively developing sovereign data infrastructure in underserved markets, connecting local governments, banks, telecoms, and enterprises with world-class facilities that meet international certification standards.

Our planned flagship development, the East Africa Data Centre Hub in Nairobi, is a proposed Tier III TIA-942-certified facility designed to offer 20MW of IT load capacity, carrier-neutral connectivity, and a 99.98% uptime SLA, with the ambition of positioning Kenya as the data hub of East and Central Africa.
