Frequently asked questions

How much does a rack (colocation) cost in Giza?

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 2 data centers in Giza to get a costed quote.

What is the difference between housing and colocation?

None: “housing” and “colocation” mean the same thing — hosting your own servers in a third-party data center, as opposed to renting a dedicated server or public cloud.

Which data centers in Giza are ISO 27001 certified?

Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.

Learn the basics: colocation, 42U rack, cross-connect, IP transit, Tier III/IV.

Costed answers: how much does a rack cost?, cross-connect pricing, colocation or cloud? — and the colocation price barometer.

What does a rack in Giza really cost?

Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Giza, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):

ItemEstimate
5 kW rack, per month€1,010 – €1,218
Cost per kW per month€180 – €218
Over 3 years (36 months)€36,360 – €43,848

What this covers: local industrial energy tariff, site efficiency (PUE), retail colocation margin and local market tightness. What it does not: IP transit, cross-connects, setup fees and PDUs — priced site by site in the comparator.

An estimate, not an offer. It is a model, with an open method and a version — not a contractual rate. A quote prices your actual configuration. Think the model is wrong? The method is published: tell us where.

What Giza allows

Giza has 2 data centers, operated by Telecom Egypt.

Connectivity from Giza

18 networks are listed at the sites in Giza according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit. The large networks reachable directly from these sites, without buying transit, are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Meta: they are present at the exchange point where one site in the city is a point of presence. Reaching your cloud over an exchange point rather than the public Internet changes latency, and above all the price of data egress.

The electricity behind Giza

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Giza are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 79.6% of its electricity from natural gas (2025). The detail: natural gas 79.6%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 7.4%, hydro 6.1%, wind 3.8%, solar 3.1%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 87% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 563 g of CO2, i.e. 1.2 times the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 20 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Giza

Since 1970, 1 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Giza, and 3 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.8 in 1992, 34 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Giza does not allow

No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.

Other cities with data centers near Giza

The nearest site outside Giza is 23 km away, in Tenth of Ramadan. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
