Cloud 251 Takes Off: A Secure Cloud Future for Ethiopian Businesses

Cloud 251, a rising Ethiopian cloud powerhouse, has soared into the market perfectly timed with the implementation of Ethiopia's new Personal Data Protection Law. This launch breaks new ground by offering secure, Amazon Web Services (AWS)-caliber cloud infrastructure located entirely within Ethiopia's borders.

Gone are the complexities of international transactions. Through their user-friendly website, Cloud251.com, businesses can now browse, pay securely in Ethiopian Birr using the EthSwitch gateway, and access their virtual machine – all in one place. This one-stop shop is a game-changer, particularly for organizations like banks that traditionally face high costs for data center upkeep. Cloud 251 offers a secure and cost-effective alternative.

But Cloud 251 isn’t flying solo. They’ve partnered with Raxio Group, Africa’s leading data center operator, to accelerate digital transformation across the continent. This strategic alliance has a particular focus on expanding cloud solutions for the Ethiopian and regional markets.

Raxio’s strong presence in Ethiopia, coupled with their renowned world-class facilities and commitment to sustainability, makes them the perfect partner. This collaboration forms a powerful ecosystem that fosters digital change in Africa. The alliance combines Raxio’s reliable carrier-neutral data centers with Cloud 251’s cutting-edge cloud services, translating to stable infrastructure and scalable computing resources for organizations.

“Cloud 251 leverages Raxio’s top-tier data centers to deliver a comprehensive range of cloud products,” says Tigest Damtie, CEO of Cloud 251. “We also provide expert cybersecurity consultations, empowering businesses to build strong security plans and outsource management.”

The launch of Cloud 251 is a significant development for Ethiopian businesses. Secure and reliable cloud services within the country eliminate data privacy concerns and latency issues often associated with international providers. Additionally, the ability to pay in Ethiopian Birr simplifies financial transactions.
