What GPX India does

GPX Global Systems Inc. is a privately held, founder-controlled carrier-neutral data center operator incorporated in August 2002 and headquartered in New York, with wholly-owned operating subsidiaries GPX Egypt Ltd (Cairo) and GPX Global Systems Ireland Ltd (Dublin). The company's core product is data center colocation — secure rack, cabinet, and custom cage space in Tier 4 designed facilities — delivered alongside the proprietary GPX Structured Wiring Interconnect System (SWIS), which provides physical and LAN-based cross-connect services over multi/single-mode fiber and CAT-6 Ethernet cabling between customer cages and carrier meet-me rooms. Underlying technology centers on carrier-neutral, ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 4 fault-tolerant infrastructure with N+1 UPS and generator redundancy, 3x 2188 kVA diesel generators in N+1 configuration at Cairo 2, and multi-level physical and electronic security (CCTV, biometrics, 24/7 staffing). GPX monetizes colocation through multi-year subscription contracts under a direct enterprise sales motion — no resellers, no managed services, no bandwidth resale — targeting telecommunications carriers, ISPs, content delivery networks, cloud service providers, and BFSI/enterprise clients that require interconnection freedom across multiple carriers.

As of the latest disclosures, GPX operates two data centers in Cairo, Egypt (Cairo 1, opened 2007, and Cairo 2, opened 2015) and announced a major Cairo 2 expansion in May 2023 backed by an EGP 2.7 billion investment that will add 12 MW of power, 1,800 racks, and 9,000 m² of equipped space, with phase one customer-ready in late Q3-2026. The Indian operations historically referenced as GPX India — Mumbai 1 (launched June 2012) and Mumbai 2 (launched February 2019, 16 MW) — were divested in their entirety to Equinix in September 2021 for US$161 million, marking a full exit from the South Asian market. Named enterprise tenants include IBM, Andalusia Group for Medical Services (serving 20+ hospitals), Electrolux, El Ezaby Pharmacies, HC Securities & Investment, and Technobiz Equipments, with all four Egyptian Class A ISPs (EgyNet, LINKdotNET, Nile On Line, TE Data) anchored at the Cairo facilities. Compliance footprint at Cairo 2 includes ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 4, ISO 22301, 27001, 14001, 9001, 45001, and SOC 2 Type II.

Core offering

GPX India (via parent GPX Global Systems Inc.) built and operated carrier-neutral Tier 4 data centers providing secure colocation space, including standard 42U rack/cabinet configurations and custom cage configurations with power densities up to 8–10kW per rack. Its sole business was providing this colocation space — the company did not sell bandwidth, managed services, or resell hardware/software, and did not operate as a Telco, ISP, IXP, or cloud provider. Revenue was generated through subscription-based, multi-year colocation contracts with a 99.999% uptime SLA on power and cooling.

Regional players

• iXAfrica Data Centres: Kenyan carrier-neutral hyperscale-edge colocation operator; comparable Tier III+ design targeting enterprise and wholesale tenants in East Africa, also leveraging new subsea cable arrivals (2Africa).
• Teraco Data Environments: Africa's largest carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection provider, operating vendor-neutral facilities in South Africa; the closest direct competitor in spirit and market as both target telcos, ISPs, CDNs, and enterprises across the African continent.
• MainOne / MDXi: West African subsea cable operator (now Equinix-owned) with carrier-neutral data center subsidiary MDXi providing Tier III colocation in Nigeria and Ghana; comparable subsea-cable-adjacent carrier-neutral positioning.
• Africa Data Centres (Liquid Intelligent Technologies): Pan-African hyperscale-and-retail colocation business owned by Liquid; competes for the same enterprise, cloud, and carrier workloads across multiple African geographies.
• Telecom Egypt Data Centers: Egyptian incumbent telco operating its own data center facilities leveraging domestic fiber and international subsea cable landings; competes in-country with GPX despite GPX's true carrier neutrality, given incumbent footprint and reach.

Broad incumbents

• Digital Realty: Large-scale global colocation and hyperscale wholesale operator with a PlatformDIGITAL footprint; competes for the same enterprise and cloud workloads GPX targets, especially as it expands interconnection-rich facilities in MENA.
• NTT Global Data Centers: Global Tier III/IV data center operator with growing MENA presence through acquisitions and builds; competes for enterprise and hyperscale tenants requiring carrier-neutral, multi-country colocation.

Direct peers

• Equinix: Global leader in carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection; acquired GPX India's Mumbai facilities in 2021 and competes directly for the same Tier 4 enterprise and carrier customers in MENA/Africa on enterprise retail colocation and IX/Meet-Me-Room ecosystems.
• Telehouse / KDDI: Pioneering carrier-neutral colocation provider (Telehouse London Docklands was one of the first neutral IX facilities); closest analog to GPX in pure carrier-neutrality and subsea-cable-adjacent positioning for telco/ISP/CDN tenants.

Emerging players

• Raxio Data Centres: Pan-African carrier-neutral colocation operator with facilities across multiple African countries; emerging competitor to GPX on the same wholesale and retail colocation thesis in Africa.
