GPX Egypt: A cornerstone in Africa’s digital infrastructure
As the demand for ultra-reliable digital infrastructure intensifies across emerging markets, GPX Egypt Ltd stands out as a pioneer and market leader. Since opening its first data centre in Cairo in 2007, GPX has established itself as Africa’s only provider of Tier 4 design-certified, carrier-neutral data centres. These highly resilient facilities are essential for businesses looking to colocate mission-critical infrastructure in a secure and redundant environment.
GPX Egypt’s footprint is strategically aligned with undersea cable systems including FLAG, SEA-ME-WE, EIG, FALCON, MENA, AAE, and IMEWE. With upcoming connectivity from PEACE, 2AFRICA, and IEX cables, GPX is reinforcing Egypt’s position as a vital global digital hub.
The company opened a second, fully redundant 3,000 m² Tier 4 data centre in Cairo in 2015, serving a range of clients from telcos and ISPs to OTT platforms, CDNs, and enterprises. These edge hubs enable customers to deploy scalable infrastructure for content delivery, cloud services, and disaster recovery.

GPX Global: From Mumbai to Cairo – evolving with the market
Globally, GPX Global Systems has focused on creating next-generation data infrastructure in high-growth, underserved regions. After launching a major presence in Mumbai in 2012 and expanding with a second 16MW facility in 2019, GPX exited the Indian market in 2021, selling its operations to Equinix. This strategic shift refocused the company’s vision on Africa and Egypt, where the digital economy is gaining unprecedented momentum.
Data centre operators like GPX face unique challenges in developing markets: power reliability, latency, security, and carrier interconnectivity. But these challenges are increasingly matched with opportunity. The global shift to cloud, AI, and IoT is fuelling exponential demand for low-latency, high-availability infrastructure—precisely what GPX Egypt delivers.
As Africa’s digital economy grows—estimated to reach $180 billion by 2025—GPX’s investment in Tier 4 infrastructure places it at the heart of the continent’s digital transformation.
