PAIX operates at the heart of Africa’s digital economy, running the carrier-neutral data centres, internet exchanges, and interconnection hubs 

Building the Infrastructure Layer for Pan-African Growth

PAIX operates at the heart of Africa’s digital economy, running the carrier-neutral data centres, internet exchanges, and interconnection hubs that power the continent’s fastest-growing financial networks, content platforms, cloud ecosystems, and enterprise operations.

From Accra IX’s emergence as West Africa’s premier internet exchange hub to Nairobi’s position as one of the fastest-growing financial ecosystems in East Africa, we are building a Pan-African platform designed to scale with you. Whether you are a bank running mission-critical payment infrastructure, a carrier building regional reach, or a hyperscaler looking for trusted, neutral ground across multiple markets. PAIX is where you belong.

Colocation: Secure, Scalable, Enterprise-Grade Hosting

Your infrastructure is the foundation of everything your business does. PAIX colocation facilities are purpose-built to keep it protected, connected, and performing so your teams can focus on growth, not facilities management.

We offer flexible colocation options to suit organisations at every stage of scale:

  • Modular footprint, cabinet, and private room configurations
  • Redundant power, cooling, and physical security across all facilities
  • Global carrier choice for flexible, resilient connectivity

By hosting with PAIX, you reduce both capital and operational expenditure, eliminate the cost and complexity of running your own data centre, and gain immediate access to the ecosystems financial networks, carriers, cloud providers, and content platforms that are already present in our facilities.

Interconnection: Connect with Confidence

The quality of your connections defines the quality of your services. Across PAIX facilities, you gain direct access to the carriers, cloud platforms, financial networks, and content ecosystems that your business depends on without the cost, latency, or risk of traversing the public internet.

Our interconnection services are built for organisations where performance is non-negotiable:

Cross-Connect Services

Direct, low-latency private links to partners and service providers within our facilities. Cross-connects are the most efficient way to exchange traffic with the growing community of networks and enterprises already present at PAIX.

Internet Exchange (IX) Peering

Exchange traffic locally at Accra IX one of the fastest-growing internet exchanges in West Africa and at Nairobi IX/LINX, Kenya-IX, and Ghana-IX. Local peering reduces IP transit costs, improves application performance, and delivers a materially better end-user experience across the region.

Cloud Connect (coming soon)

Dedicated, private paths to major cloud providers that form the foundation of resilient hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. For banks, enterprises, and ISVs building cloud-dependent platforms, Cloud Connect delivers the consistency and low latency that production workloads require.

Who is this for

  • Banks and Financial Services institutions managing cross-border payments and real-time settlement
  • Carriers and ISPs reducing transit costs through direct, local peering
  • Enterprises optimising application performance across geographies
  • Content and Digital Media Distributors reaching African audiences efficiently

Peering and Internet Exchanges

When traffic stays local, performance improves and costs come down. PAIX operates and hosts internet exchange points in Accra and Nairobi that allow banks, ISPs, carriers, and content networks to exchange traffic directly bypassing expensive transit routes and reducing the number of hops between source and destination.

The Accra IX has grown rapidly to become one of the most significant exchange points in West Africa, attracting the region’s leading ISPs, CDNs, and financial networks. In Nairobi, our IX community reflects the city’s status as East Africa’s financial and digital hub. Together, these exchanges form the backbone of our Pan-African interconnection platform.

Active exchanges: Accra IX, Nairobi IX (LINX), Kenya-IX, Ghana-IX.

Customer Support: Enterprise-Level Service, 24/7

One of the finest data centers I've come across in Ghana. Great prices. Modern equipment. Sophisticated server farm infrastructure. Raised floors with DCUs for cooling. Managed I.T services. They support MAS (Metal as a Service), SAS (Software as a Service) etc. Business oriented. Warm reception. They're

professionals. Highly recommended.
