Cloud Hosting in Kenya - Multi-AZ, Web Hosting, Cloud Servers and Sovereign Cloud

The Kenya region runs across two availability zones in Nairobi, on iXAfrica and PAIX, with a third zone planned in Mombasa. Cross-zone replication, high availability, and disaster recovery, all inside Kenya, under Kenyan law.

Data residency

Your data stays in Kenya

Choose Kenya as your region and your production data, backups, and logs remain in the country. Operations run under local data protection law, with governance documentation available for review.

Regulatory context

The regulatory picture

Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 and the CBK cloud risk guidelines require organisations to show where their data sits, who can access it, and how they recover from failure. The Kenya region keeps your production data, backups, and recovery architecture inside Kenya, with access controls and audit logging available for review.

Common workloads in Kenya

Banks and Fintechs

Deploy across AZ1 at iXAfrica and AZ2 at PAIX for cross-zone replication and automatic failover. CBK cloud risk guidelines require demonstrable recovery capability. That capability now exists inside Kenya without routing workloads abroad.

Enterprises Needing High Availability

Production workloads distributed across two Nairobi availability zones with a Mombasa region on the way. If one zone has an issue, the other keeps your services running. Genuine resilience, not a promise from a foreign cloud.

Public Sector and NGOs

A locally registered vendor for national agencies, county governments, and development organisations. Data sovereignty is clear, audit trails are clean, and procurement teams have a legitimate Kenyan entity on record.

SAP and Enterprise ERP

Dedicated bare metal servers for SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft workloads across two Nairobi data centre locations. 24/7 managed operations and SLA-backed uptime, with a Mombasa region adding coastal coverage when ready.

Delivered through the Gewape Cloud Platform

Products in Kenya are delivered by our brands, each on the same open foundations.
