Compator’s Groundbreaking Mini-Data Centres Set to Launch in Ghana
Philip Miller, Jim Butterworth and Elizabeth Squire from the Compator team have just returned from an important trip to Ghana, the West African country in which we plan to start rolling out our pilot network of ultra-efficient mini-data centres in the spring. The team were joined on their journey by David Marriage of PwC, a key partner of Compator, which will be instrumental in making this rollout wide-reaching, successful and accessible for those most in need of our groundbreaking new technology.
Bridging the Digital Divide in Ghana
These data centres will bring compact hyperscale compute to areas that are otherwise underserved by computational infrastructure, enabling the likes of teachers, medical professionals and small businesses in isolated rural communities to benefit from the sort of networked computing and processing that has, until now, been beyond their reach.
Engaging with Ghana’s Tech Community
As well as attending the opening of Imperial Global Ghana, Philip, Jim, Elizabeth and David met the UN Resident Coordinator of Ghana, Mr Charles Abani, who organised and introduced a round table meeting for the company on 14th November. Held in the UNESCO compound in the nation’s capital, Accra, it was also attended by the UNESCO Representative to Ghana, Mr Edmond Moukala N’Gouemo, who summed up the meeting.
This round table enabled Compator to meet many local business owners, including education technology companies, animators and graphic designers, all of whom could benefit from Compator’s pioneering work.
