Wingu Africa, a data center provider in Ethiopia, has achieved Tier III certification for its facility located in the ICT Park. This designation, awarded by Uptime Institute, the global authority on data center standards, makes Wingu Africa the first company in Ethiopia to have its data center infrastructure certified as Tier III.
Data center tiers are a standardized ranking system that reflects the reliability of a facility’s infrastructure. This classification ranges from Tier 1 (least reliable) to Tier 4 (most reliable).
“This significant investment underscores our commitment to bringing the highest quality digital infrastructure to Ethiopia and East Africa,” said Nicholas Lodge, Chief Strategic Officer at Wingu Africa Group Limited, in a press release.
While Uptime Institute has issued Tier Standard certifications in 114 countries, including 2645 awards globally, Wingu Africa is the only data center operator in Ethiopia to hold facility certification (as opposed to design certification held by Raxio Data Center, Zemen Bank, and Commercial Bank of Ethiopia).
