 Telkom has launched a KES 150Million data Centre in Nairobi’s Upper Hill to up its network quality, colocation and hosting services, Internet connectivity and local loop connectivity.

The modernized open access facility at Milimani Exchange along Bishop Road, Upper Hill, Nairobi, is part of Telkom’s network infrastructure expansion programme and is capable of hosting all Telco’s infrastructure both local and international clients at the site.

According to Telkom Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Aldo Mareuse, this latest investment is to leverage on the rising demand for cloud-based services for Kenyan and regional businesses, at a customer‘s requirements.

“It gives our clients three redundant fiber routes guaranteeing back-up and access to international capacity on the Submarine Cables (TEAMS, EASSY & LION2) from Nairobi, enabling us to redeploy superior services competitively beyond market offering,” says Mr. Mareuse.

The new infrastructure, he says, provides access to national fiber backbone and metro capacities across the country whilst offering turnkey solution support for public and private cloud deployment and multi-channel access to services.

Speaking when launching the data center, ICT Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Joe Mucheru, lauded the timely infrastructure investment, amid booming data generation over the next five years. He urged enterprises entrusted with data to put in place measures to safeguard data from internal and external compromise.

“In recent days, there have been several cyber threats locally and internationally, leading to losses by individuals and organizations. As we have learnt in the same period, the threats are not necessarily external – some cyber threats originate internally. The Government will continue to invest in initiatives that tackle the ever-evolving cyber threats to back up our readiness and timely response,” says CS Mucheru.
