ECC Solutions: 20‑Year legacy of data excellence
Founded in 2001 with a clear vision—to build a world‑class data centre—ECC Solutions began servicing the Egyptian market in the last quarter of the same year. It quickly captured the premium end of Egypt’s IT value chain, establishing itself as the first data centre in the country to secure ISO‑27001, ISO‑9001 and PCI‑DSS certifications . Built in 6th October City, its facility supports colocation, dedicated hosting, cloud services, web development and professional IT services.
Today ECC serves over 850 customers with 24/7 security, remote hands, UPS, generators, CCTV, and FM‑200 fire suppression systems. Notably, its centre hosted the Cairo Regional Internet Exchange (CRIX), inaugurated in December 2002—a critical peering point that keeps Egyptian internet traffic local.
