Certified Tier Three in design, it consists of a 400 m² server room with a capacity of 05 cubes, i.e. 130 bays; a supervision room with 08 work positions; an Automated Energy Management System of 440 KW of corrugated power with 03 transformers of 800 KVA, 04 generators of 1000 KVA and 40,000 litres of diesel tank; a fire detection and fire-fighting system and finally an access management system and surveillance cameras.

It will contribute to the development of the digital economy by facilitating access to hosting services platforms, a catalyst for the blossoming of the creative genius of our youth like the startups that now have a local tool, meeting international standards, less expensive, secure and more accessible," boasted DG Judith Yah Sunday, at the inauguration of this infrastructure.
