Often, yes - particularly for predictable, steady-state workloads. Cloud pricing is built around flexibility and usage-based billing, which is valuable for variable demand, but that same model can make costs climb for workloads that run continuously at scale, since you are paying an ongoing premium for elasticity you are not using. Moving those workloads to colocated hardware shifts you to a largely fixed cost (space, power, connectivity) rather than a variable one, which can lower total cost over a multi-year horizon, especially once you factor in cloud data egress fees, which are often underestimated.

The savings are not automatic, though. They depend on your workload pattern, how efficiently your current cloud spend is optimised, and whether you factor in the capital cost of hardware plus the operational overhead of managing it yourself. Repatriation tends to make the most financial sense for stable, high-utilisation workloads, less so for spiky or unpredictable ones, where cloud's elasticity is still doing real work for you.

OADC's carrier-neutral model is well suited to a hybrid approach here: colocate the steady, cost-sensitive workloads on owned hardware while keeping direct, low-latency interconnection to cloud providers for the workloads that still benefit from cloud's flexibility, so you are not making an all-or-nothing move.

Colocation means placing your own physical servers and hardware in a secure, third-party facility. You own and manage the equipment, while the data centre provides the power, cooling, connectivity and physical security around it. Cloud hosting, by contrast, means renting virtual computing resources from a provider like AWS or Azure, with no physical hardware of your own to manage.

The two are not mutually exclusive: many organisations use colocation as a bridge to cloud, keeping mission-critical or regulated workloads on owned hardware within a carrier-neutral facility, while using that same facility's interconnection to reach cloud providers directly. OADC's carrier-neutral model supports exactly this, colocated equipment gets low-latency, private access to major cloud platforms without routing traffic over the public internet.

OADC Lagos (LOS1) is located in Nigeria's commercial and digital hub, within the Eko Atlantic City Special Economic Zone, one of West Africa's most connected ecosystems for cloud, carrier and enterprise infrastructure.

Yes. OADC Lagos is a fully carrier-neutral facility, giving equal, unrestricted access to global Tier-1 and regional network providers, so you are never locked into a single carrier.

OADC Lagos is Tier-III designed certified, ISO27001 certified and PCI DSS compliant, meeting international standards for both infrastructure resilience and information security management.

The facility has a 24MW site load across 7,200m² of technical space, with N+1 cooling redundancy to support high-density colocation and hyperscale requirements.

Yes. OADC Lagos is the Nigerian landing station for the Equiano subsea cable system, giving colocated clients direct access to faster international connectivity and reduced latency.

OADC Lagos supports flexible deployment from quarter racks to full racks and larger dedicated deployments, so capacity can scale as your workload grows.

Cloud and digital platform providers, telecommunications and network operators, content and media platforms, and financial services, enterprise and government organisations all colocate at OADC Lagos to reduce latency and simplify connectivity within Nigeria's digital ecosystem.

OADC Lagos combines carrier neutrality, Equiano cable landing access, open interconnection within a single facility, reducing the need to manage multiple vendor relationships for connectivity, cloud access and colocation.

Yes, you can book a tour directly through the OADC website to see the facility and discuss your specific colocation, cloud, peering or connectivity requirements with a data centre expert.

Yes. The facility's power density, N+1 cooling redundancy and carrier-neutral connectivity are designed to support cloud migration, AI workloads and other data-intensive applications.
