Data infrastructure
Specialized data infrastructure in the NCRI portfolio.
A phased network of sector-focused U.S. and Africa-linked facilities — one portfolio platform under central coordination, not the definition of NCRI itself.
Strategic position
Domain expertise over generic capacity
NCRI does not plan to compete as a general-purpose hyperscale provider. Where data infrastructure advances the group model, the strategy focuses on specialized workloads, domain-specific managed services, and connections to consulting, research, and workforce development.
Proposed network
Three connected portfolio nodes
Oil and gas intelligence
A proposed secure, high-availability environment for demanding oil-and-gas data, analytics, and operational workloads.
1–3 MW specialized facility or a leased, colocation, and private-cloud hybrid.
Renewables and grid intelligence
A proposed modular facility focused on renewable forecasting, grid analytics, storage optimization, carbon data, and asset-performance AI.
750 kW–2 MW modular or partner-hosted facility.
Data sovereignty and applied learning
A proposed smaller integrated node connecting cloud services, energy research, practical education, and locally anchored data capability.
Partner-led pilot using colocation, university, utility, or cloud infrastructure.
