Raxio Data Centre has today unveiled nine new local fibre carriers who have been signed on at the Namanve-based carrier-neutral facility. The local fibre carriers will provide reliable internet connection to enable seamless data connections at competitive prices. These nine local fibre carriers are: Africell Uganda Limited, Airtel Uganda, Bandwidth and Cloud Services Group (BCS Group), Csquared, Liquid Telecom, MTN Uganda, National Information Technology Authority-Uganda (NITA-U), Roke Telkom and Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL). Speaking at the unveiling, the General Manager of Raxio Data Centre Mr. James Byaruhanga stated that this move would see customers enjoy the benefits of a carrier neutral data centre. In light of the current socio-economic challenges, Raxio Data Centre is encouraging customers to view an outsourced carrier neutral data center as a better way of supporting their business operations as it enables multiple points of connectivity redundancy, resilience in service, optimal uptime, and diversity in options to select from. In addition, local fibre carriers are also going to have an extended reach to more customers which in turn leads to business growth as connectivity providers. By having a point of presence at Raxio Data Centre, the local fibre carriers can get closer to their current and potential customers/partners to maximise market penetration and optimise return on investment (ROI). With this new move, Raxio Data Centre plans to attract more customers from a diverse number of industries, including banking, financial services, content & media, government & non-governmental, education, healthcare, retail & e-commerce, utilities, transport, energy, as well as technology and communications driven industries, among many others.
