Modular data centre manufacturing company, Flexenclosure together with ERP Software Technologies (ERPST) will deploy two data centres in Ethiopia. The eCentres will house servers and software to manage and run Ethiopian Railway Corporation (ERC) activities as they expand their rail network across Ethiopia. Ethiopian ICT company ERPST is a member of a consortium implementing a major IT infrastructure deployment for Ethiopian Railway Corporation (ERC).
“Ethiopia is engaging in a highly ambitious railway construction programme as the government lays the foundations for future economic growth,” said Mark Nycander Ali, CEO and Owner of ERPST. “ERPST is playing a central and vital role in the project and we needed a tried and tested data centre solution we could rely on. With their track record of successful deployments across Africa, Flexenclosure’s eCentre was the obvious choice.”
Construction of the data centre modules is underway at Flexenclosure’s factory in Vara, Sweden, allowing all critical systems to be fully tested before shipping begins. The deployment will take place at two separate sites in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa later this year.
“We are delighted to be working with ERPST on this project. Ethiopia is a new country for us, increasing Flexenclosure’s and eCentre’s deployment footprint across the African continent,” said David King, CEO, Flexenclosure. “We now supply our products in no less than 21 African nations, proving our experience and ability to deliver mission critical infrastructure in the most challenging of environments.”
