Wingu Africa Rolls Out Cloud Exchange Platform to Support Ethiopia’s Digital Growth

Wingu Africa  a leading provider of carrier-neutral, Tier III-standard data centres in East Africa, has officially launched its Wingu Cloud Exchange (WCX) in Ethiopia. The new private cloud platform marks a significant step in delivering secure, compliant, and scalable digital solutions tailored to the needs of businesses across the region.

The WCX platform enables Ethiopian organisations to store and manage their data locally, helping them meet regulatory requirements while ensuring the protection of sensitive information. By keeping data within the country, businesses can benefit from faster service access, improved operational efficiency, and infrastructure optimized specifically for the local market.

Speaking on the launch, Demos Kyriacou, Deputy CEO, COO, and Co-founder of Wingu Africa, described WCX as a transformative solution for the region. He noted that the platform sets a new benchmark for digital infrastructure by offering secure, scalable, and locally relevant cloud services that empower businesses to innovate and grow with confidence.

WCX provides a comprehensive suite of cloud services, including computing, storage, container management through Kubernetes, and advanced security features. These tools allow companies of all sizes to deploy, manage, and secure applications more efficiently. The platform also supports hybrid cloud environments, enabling seamless integration with global providers such as Azure and AWS while maintaining locally based, predictable pricing.

One of the key advantages of WCX is its pricing model, which allows businesses to operate in local currency and avoid challenges related to foreign exchange fluctuations or unexpected costs. This gives organisations greater financial clarity and flexibility as they scale their operations.

The launch of WCX highlights Wingu Africa’s ongoing commitment to accelerating digital transformation in Ethiopia. By strengthening the country’s cloud infrastructure and offering solutions tailored to local needs, the company is contributing to the development of a more connected, resilient, and inclusive digital economy.
