Flexenclosure enters its 21st African market with eCentre data centre order in Ethiopia from ERP Software Technologies

Construction of the data centre modules is underway at Flexenclosures factory in Vara, Sweden, allowing all critical systems to be fully tested before shipping begins. Deployment will take place at two separate sites in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa later this year.

{Stockholm, Sweden and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 17th May 2017.} With a new order for two energy efficient data centres from ERP Software Technologies (ERPST) in Ethiopia, Flexenclosure successfully establishes a presence in its 21st African country. Flexenclosures turnkey prefabricated eCentre data centres and green eSite hybrid power systems for off-grid and bad-grid cell sites have made the company a preferred supplier to the African ICT market.
