Raxio Group has announced that construction has started at its Raxio MZ1 data center in Maputo, Mozambique. The facility will be Mozambique’s first carrier-neutral, privately owned data center. Raxio MZ1 is rated Tier III, and it has the capacity for 250 racks. The data center is scheduled to come online in 2023.
The CEO of Raxio Group, Robert Mullins, said: “We’re delighted to break ground on another facility, which demonstrates Raxio’s commitment to serving the region’s economy and digital transformation journey. We are looking forward to supporting the country’s digital growth by developing the first hyperscale ready colocation data center that will be operated by a team of highly skilled Mozambican professionals."
He continued by saying: Our site at the MozParks Industrial Park provides us with an ideal operating environment, with prime access to connectivity and power infrastructure, as well as the possibility to supply our site largely from renewable energy sources, allowing us to further our ambitious ESG goals.”
