Navon exists to put sovereign, sustainable and accessible compute on emerging-market soil. Three principles hold every site, every layer of the stack, and every partnership to the same standard. If a deployment isn't all three, it isn't Navon.
These are the standards we hold ourselves to, and that customers and partners can hold us to. Every site, every layer and every partnership answers to all three.
Regions keep control of their data, infrastructure and digital future. Residency by physical fact, not policy promise: hardware sits in your jurisdiction, keys are held in-country, operators are local, and audits happen in person.
Built on clean, resilient energy that scales within real environmental limits. Geothermal, hydro and solar chosen at the source, not bought as offsets. Diesel is emergency backup, never primary, and PUE is measured under load.
Locally available, usable and affordable, through open platforms and a price point that growth-market institutions can actually clear. GPU hours without USD subscriptions sized for Silicon Valley, and an environment live in 60 seconds.
The same vertically integrated platform adapts to where you operate, what you need to keep sovereign, and how fast you need to ship. Pick the row that fits you.
For cloud operators, MSPs, and regulated platforms that need carrier-neutral space for AI compute and secure storage in markets where power is the binding constraint. Bring your hardware into Tier III, geothermal-powered modular data centres, at 40 to 60% below comparable hyperscaler cost.
Meet-me room with multi-carrier fibre and open cross-connect. No single-operator lock-in between your racks and your customers.
Navon factory-built modular data centres with N+N power, N+1 cooling, and dual independent utility feeds. Maintenance never takes your floor down.
High-density racks engineered for GPU inference and training fleets, not enterprise colo cabinets capped at 5 to 8 kW.
1.29 PUE at 400 kW constant IT load. Geothermal baseload keeps both energy cost and carbon near the floor.
95% renewable geothermal at Hells Gate, clean energy your customers can carry into their own sustainability reporting.
Secure storage for regulated and sovereign datasets under Kenya DPA 2019. Auditable in person, never transiting a foreign network.
Best-suited where density, sovereignty, or clean-energy procurement matters. If your platform is low-density and has no residency requirement, a hyperscaler region is usually cheaper.
Carrier-neutral homes for GPU inference fleets, with 20 kW+ racks, low-latency on-continent delivery, and clean power to anchor your unit economics.
Sovereign object, block, and archival storage for regulated datasets, held in-jurisdiction under Kenyan law and physically auditable.
Regional edge nodes for latency-sensitive workloads, content delivery, and failover, close to where your East African customers actually are.
Tell us your rack count, power density, and residency requirements. We'll return an indicative capacity plan and pricing for Tier III space at Hells Gate.
For banks, telcos, energy companies, and regulated enterprises running AI, HPC, and analytics that have to stay in-jurisdiction. Private cloud on Navon-owned hardware, priced for growth markets, with the ergonomics your engineering team already expects.
Bare-metal, VMs, GPU pools, and managed inference on a full sovereign stack. Physically in-country, white-label ready, not a regional zone of a foreign hyperscaler.
Annual commitments with reserved-capacity discounts. No pay-per-second surprises on a six-figure GPU run.
Kenya DPA 2019, GDPR-aligned audit logs, role-based access, and sovereign HSM key management, all built in rather than retrofitted.
Annual contracts billable in USD or KES. FX exposure managed by Navon, not your CFO.
Multi-carrier fibre into the meet-me room. Cross-connect to your existing footprint without vendor lock-in.
Named account manager, capacity planning, usage reporting tied to your finance close. No ticket queue.
The Applications & Agents platform gives you composable agents, reusable skills, and sector applications running on your sovereign cloud, not a separate procurement.
Direct access to Navon's network of 20+ solution providers, with integration, deployment, and sector expertise on tap, without sourcing each vendor yourself.
We're best-suited where sovereignty, density, or proximity matters. If your workload is latency-insensitive, low-density, and has no data residency requirement, a hyperscaler is usually cheaper.

Servers in Kenya, operated by Navon, under Kenyan jurisdiction. Not a regional flag on a US hyperscaler.
Hardware security modules under local jurisdiction. No cross-border key replication unless explicitly authorised.
