Nairobi, Kenya – March 11, 2025 — Atlancis Technologies Limited (Atlancis), Everse Technology Limited (EverseTech) and iXAfrica Data Centres Limited (iXAfrica) today marked the launch of Servernah Cloud, Kenya’s first sovereign-hosted cloud and AI platform designed for regulated and mission-critical workloads. The launch brought together Atlancis’ Servernah cloud platform, EverseTech’s AI-as-a-Service capabilities, and iXAfrica’s hyperscale, carrier-neutral, AI-ready data centre infrastructure in Nairobi. The partners position the platform as a major step toward enabling enterprises, governments and innovators to build, host and run AI workloads closer to where African data is created and governed.
Held at iXAfrica’s 22.5 MW Nairobi facility on Mombasa Road, the event focused not just on cloud infrastructure, but on the practical arrival of local AI compute in East Africa. iXAfrica describes itself as East Africa’s first and largest hyperscale, carrier-neutral, AI-ready data centre, while Atlancis has publicly positioned Servernah as an African-built cloud platform and EverseTech’s offering centres on AI infrastructure access, model operations and AI marketplace services. This launch also comes at a time of growing international confidence in Kenya’s digital infrastructure market.
“This deployment is a defining moment in Africa’s AI infrastructure story,” said Snehar Shah, CEO of iXAfrica Data Centres. “It shows that the foundation for Africa’s intelligent future is being built here, and it is now live for the market. It also signals that Kenya is attracting the partnerships and infrastructure confidence needed to support the next wave of AI growth.”
Paul Statham, Commercial Director at Atlancis, outlined the cloud infrastructure layer and the capabilities that underpin the Servernah platform. “The journey to Digital Sovereignty requires massive investments in People, Hardware and Software Infrastructure. In partnership with ecosystem players, Cloud Service Providers (CSP) like Servernah are stepping up to do exactly that. We have built Servernah Cloud as Africa’s Sovereign Cloud that is resilient, secure and scalable to meet Africa’s growing needs in AI and High-performance Cloud Computing.”, said Paul.
Michael Michie, Co-founder and CEO of EverseTech then shared the story behind the partnership and presented EverseTech’s view of AI-as-a-Service as the missing operational layer between infrastructure and real business adoption. The EverseTech team demonstrated several AI solutions and showed how locally available GPU capacity can support private AI inference, model deployment and enterprise use cases without forcing organisations to move sensitive workloads offshore. As put by Michie at the end of his presentation, “This is how Africa moves from AI consumption to AI creation.”
The live Cloud and AI demonstrations were followed by an onboarding walkthrough from Lee Kitulu, who showed guests how users can begin provisioning and accessing the platform. The event was coordinated by Stella Gichuhi, Chief Business Partnership and Strategy Officer at EverseTech, who served as Master of Ceremonies.
“Digital Sovereignty is not just about processing & keeping data in Africa; It’s about keeping talent, skills, jobs, opportunities and revenue in the continent by providing technology solutions built, hosted and run from Africa. Every Virtual Machine, Container, Storage service and any technology service bought abroad is a job, skill or talent removed locally.”, said Daniel Njuguna Co-founder and CEO at Atlancis.
“The real significance of this launch is not simply that AI infrastructure is now available in Kenya, but that the region is beginning to build the institutional and technical foundations required to compete in the next era of digital value creation” said Guy Willner, Chairman, iXAfrica. “Infrastructure of this kind changes what becomes possible for businesses, governments, and innovators. It gives Africa a stronger position from which to shape its own digital future.” The launch framed sovereign AI infrastructure as more than a hosting discussion. It positioned it as a question of economic competitiveness, digital security, knowledge ownership and long-term influence over how intelligent systems are built and used in Africa. That framing aligns with EverseTech’s public positioning around localized AI infrastructure and Atlancis’ long-standing push for African cloud capacity built on open, scalable infrastructure.
