Like Ghana, fiber cuts and telecommunications theft cost Nigerian Mobile Network Operators, InfraCos, and other Service Providers N13 billion in 2022 and N14.6 billion in 2023. Without a policy that designates and protects digital infrastructure as critical national infrastructure, these acts of sabotage have the potential to impede the region’s digital infrastructure goals.

In this argument for local cloud, Abiodun Oni believes that the outdated view that only big cloud providers have the expertise is holding Africa back. He argues that Africa can build and control its own cloud infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance with regulations like Nigeria’s NDPR. Local cloud offers more than cheaper pricing or faster websites - it’s also a logical step toward technological sovereignty. By controlling our own data, compute (GPUs), and algorithms, we can, he asserts, develop AI tailored to Africa’s context rather than relying on imported technologies.

Natural gas is now considered a critical bridging solution in the shift toward low-carbon energy, with growing recognition that its role may be essential in meeting the near-term needs of high-energy-demand facilities like data centers. Last month, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) president Clair Moeller pointed out that data centers could pay for a gas-fired generation as a short-term solution to meet their power needs. https://lnkd.in/e9fHt4hB Follow Africa Hyperscalers Media for the latest insights and updates on the continent's rapidly evolving digital infrastructure.

Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, emphasized the significance of the facility, noting that the center will be used to train Meta's Llama AI models and will operate with more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of power when fully built. The new data center will help meet the growing demand for AI processing power and bring economic benefits to the region. https://lnkd.in/d59HXRT5 Follow Africa Hyperscalers Media for the latest insights and updates on the continent's rapidly evolving digital infrastructure.

As OpenAI’s computational needs continue to grow, so do its financial requirements. The company has expressed the need for 5GW data centers to train its future models, a project that could cost upwards of $100 billion. Raising such funds, whether from Microsoft or other tech giants, could be challenging with the AGI safety clause still in place, prompting OpenAI to consider removing it, according to the Financial Times. https://lnkd.in/dqBu7XGk Follow Africa Hyperscalers Media for the latest insights and updates on the continent's rapidly evolving digital infrastructure.
