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

Sector solutions
