Infrastructure forEvery Layerof the Stack

Five product lines, all running on the same sovereign, open-source foundation. Every configuration ships with AI inference built in as standard.

AI & Inference : Built in, not bolted on

Inference, by default
Every server ships with AI inference capability built in. It is the standard configuration, not an upgrade tier, so there's no premium to pay to run LLMs.
Open Silicon
Built on GO-CN48-32-2T, a high-density RISC-V compute architecture designed for AI inference and cloud. It is an open architecture that reduces dependence on proprietary technology stacks.
On-continent latency
Sub-8ms latency for African users, versus 120ms and higher when inference is routed through Europe or the US. The difference is measurable in your product.

Why Bare Metal for Regulated Workloads

AfWS vs. shared cloud: the honest comparison

Shared Cloud Platforms

Hypervisor sits between tenant and hardware
Theoretical and, in regulated contexts, real data exposure
One tenant's spike can degrade another's performance
USD-denominated billing, subject to export controls
Data routed offshore to Europe or the US
120ms+ latency from Africa

AfWS Bare Metal

Dedicated physical chassis per tenant, with no hypervisor to snoop through
Hardware boundary is the security boundary
Full physical isolation, no neighbouring workload ever touches your compute
Commercial options in naira, open architecture
Data stays in Lagos under Nigerian jurisdiction
Sub-8ms on-continent latency

Who we serve

Fintech & Banking
The CBN's June 2026 circular introduces local data-management requirements for regulated payment-system participants from 1 January 2027. For banks, fintechs and payment companies, infrastructure location is now a compliance consideration. AfWS keeps payment transaction data in Lagos, on dedicated hardware.
- Supports CBN localisation from 1 January 2027
- Sub-8ms on-continent latency
- Dedicated chassis per tenant
Government & Public Sector
Sovereign alternative to foreign cloud for federal agency inference workloads, with transparent local-currency pricing and Nigerian-jurisdiction data.
- 100% data sovereignty
- Nigerian-jurisdiction data
- FGN partnership ready
Healthcare
Dedicated chassis isolation for medical imaging and telemedicine, with sub-8ms round-trip for Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
- NDPR compliant
- Medical imaging optimised
- Telemedicine-grade latency
Enterprise & Analytics
Data warehousing, batch processing, and ML pipelines with the regional latency advantage of on-continent hosting. AI inference at every tier, standard.
- AI inference built-in
- Commercial options in naira
- 117× revenue per rack
Security & Intelligence
Hardware-boundary isolation for classified and sensitive workloads. No hypervisor, no shared tenancy, no offshore routing. Auditable down to the chassis.
- Supports CBN localisation from 1 January 2027
- Sub-8ms on-continent latency
- Dedicated chassis per tenant
Startups & Scale-Ups
Node-level pricing that scales with the business, without the cloud bill shock that hits fast-growing African startups on hyperscaler pricing. Start with a single node; expand to a full rack without changing providers.
- 100% data sovereignty
- Nigerian-jurisdiction data
- FGN partnership ready
