A privately operated engineered edge infrastructure facility located in Kampala, Uganda, designed to deliver reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure in real-world operating conditions. It forms part of a hybrid hosting platform integrating local infrastructure with a UK Tier III data centre, enabling flexible deployment, data residency control, and resilient service delivery.

The facility adopts a low-visibility, security-by-design approach, reducing external exposure while maintaining strict, monitored access. It is designed to continue operating through instability, not merely recover after disruption.

## Core Capability

Designed for environments where power and connectivity conditions are variable, UG-KLA01 uses a multi-source power architecture combining grid, generator, solar, and battery systems. This allows the facility to maintain continuous operation through outages and transition events.

## Key Features

-   Multi-source power (grid, generator, solar, battery)
-   \~48-hour generator autonomy, with planned external fuel expansion for extended operation
-   \~21-hour battery-backed runtime
-   N+1 cooling (split AC)
-   Automatic and manual changeover paths
-   Manual bypass options for key components
-   Hybrid Uganda-UK infrastructure integration
-   BGP-enabled network with local peering (UXIP)
-   Enterprise storage and compute platforms

## Security

Our Edge Infrastructure Facility follows a layered security model combining physical and logical controls. Physical access is controlled via biometric systems and monitored by CCTV. Logical security includes multi-factor authentication, IP-restricted administrative access, and continuous monitoring and alerting.

The facility adopts a low-visibility, security-by-design approach, reducing external exposure while maintaining strict, monitored access.

## Services

-   Colocation
-   Dedicated infrastructure
-   Virtualised compute platforms
-   Managed hosting
-   Backup and disaster recovery
-   Hybrid deployment (Uganda-UK)

## Positioning

CFTS delivers engineered infrastructure designed for reliability, predictability, and operational clarity. UG-KLA01 is not a traditional large-scale data centre, but a deliberately designed Edge Infrastructure Facility providing enterprise-grade capability with reduced complexity, strong local performance, and resilience under real-world conditions.
