Rack Centre, West Africa’s leading Tier III carrier-neutral and cloud-neutral data centre, has partnered with EdgeNext to launch Content Delivery Network (CDN) and cloud hosting services in Nigeria, hosted at Rack Centre’s state-of-the-art facility in Lagos.

With a population exceeding 200 million and one of Africa’s youngest demographics, Nigeria represents a rapidly growing digital economy. The surge in demand for internet services, mobile apps, gaming, e-commerce, and social media platforms has created an urgent need for high-performance infrastructure capable of delivering seamless digital experiences.

EdgeNext’s expansion into Nigeria aims to meet this demand by enhancing content delivery and cloud hosting efficiency, ensuring fast and stable application performance while empowering businesses to scale effectively across the region.

Its global acceleration network promises lower latency and smoother digital experiences for video, social media, and e-commerce platforms, serving Nigerian end users. The platform’s flexible cloud hosting resources also enable small and medium-sized businesses and developers to deploy services rapidly, reduce IT costs, and accelerate digital transformation.

Recognizing Nigeria’s thriving gaming ecosystem, EdgeNext is developing gaming cloud solutions that provide low-latency, high-concurrency acceleration for mobile, PC, and cloud gaming, delivering immersive and seamless user experiences.

Looking ahead, EdgeNext plans to drive the adoption of edge cloud computing in Nigeria, supporting smart cities, fintech innovation, digital education, healthcare solutions, and other critical applications for the country’s economic transformation.

“Launching our CDN and cloud hosting services in Nigeria marks a key milestone for EdgeNext,” said Terence Wang, CEO of EdgeNext. “By partnering with Rack Centre, we are ensuring secure, reliable, and low-latency services for enterprises, developers, and end-users, helping Nigeria embrace a new era of cloud and edge computing.”

Rack Centre CEO Lars Johannisson added: “We are pleased to welcome EdgeNext to the Rack Centre ecosystem. Their arrival demonstrates the strength of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure, and our LGS2 facility provides the capacity, connectivity, and sustainability international providers need to serve this market effectively.”

Rack Centre’s 13.5MW campus hosts over 73 carriers, ISPs, and network operators. Its LGS2 facility achieves a design PUE of 1.35 using sustainable energy sources and offers direct connectivity to all subsea cable landings on Africa’s Atlantic coast, including Equiano and the upcoming 2Africa cable.

This partnership highlights the growing demand for edge services across Africa and reinforces Rack Centre’s position as the preferred gateway for global technology providers expanding into the region.
