Bridging the Digital Divide: Cloud 251 and Raxio Partner to Drive Ethiopian Digitalization

Cloud 251, Ethiopia’s rising cloud powerhouse, announced its official launch, which coincides perfectly with the implementation of Proclamation 1321, Ethiopia’s new Personal Data Protection Law. Cloud 251 breaks new ground by offering AWS-caliber infrastructure within Ethiopian borders. This allows customers to directly purchase and manage cloud services in local currency through their user-friendly website.

Cloud 251 eliminates the need for complex, hard-currency transactions. With Cloud251.com, you can seamlessly choose your desired service, pay securely with your Ethiopian Birr using the EthSwitch gateway, and access your virtual machine – all in one place. This is particularly beneficial for organizations like banks, who often face high capital expenditures (Capex) for building their own data centers. Cloud 251 offers a secure and cost-effective alternative.

Cloud 251 joins forces with Raxio Group, Africa’s leading carrier-neutral Tier III+ data center operator. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate digital transformation across Africa, with a particular focus on expanding cloud solutions for Ethiopian and regional markets.
