Wingu Africa Launches Wingu Cloud Exchange in Ethiopia
Wingu Africa, the pioneering specialist provider of
carrier-neutral, Tier III-standard data centres in East Africa, has announced
the launch of the Wingu Cloud Exchange (WCX), a new private cloud platform
tailored specifically for East African businesses and now available in
Ethiopia.
With WCX, Ethiopian organisations can keep their data
securely within the country, ensuring compliance with local regulations and
protecting sensitive information. For businesses, this enables faster access to
services, improved operational efficiency, and reliable support through locally
optimised infrastructure.
Demos Kyriacou, Deputy
CEO, COO and Co-founder of Wingu Africa, said, “WCX is a game-changer for African businesses. We are
delivering secure, compliant, and scalable cloud solutions built specifically
for local needs. With this platform, we are setting a new standard for digital
infrastructure in the region and accelerating Ethiopia’s transformation into a
digitally enabled economy.”
WCX brings together essential cloud services such as
computing, storage, container management, and security, making advanced
technology accessible to companies of all sizes. Enterprises can scale
operations on demand, pay predictable prices in local currency, and avoid the
uncertainties of foreign exchange or hidden fees. This gives businesses clarity
in planning and the freedom to grow without constraints.
The platform offers a full range of services, including Wingu
Compute, Wingu Kubernetes, Wingu Drive, and Wingu Security, enabling businesses
to deploy, manage, and secure applications with confidence. The platform also
integrates seamlessly with existing on-premises systems and complements global
providers such as Azure and AWS, offering customers flexible hybrid options
tailored to their operational requirements.
The launch of WCX highlights the company’s commitment to
advancing Ethiopia’s digital transformation and strengthening the region’s
cloud infrastructure. By delivering locally relevant solutions, Wingu Africa
supports sustainable growth and inclusive development, while addressing
customer demand for simplicity, reliability, and predictability in cloud
adoption.
