Why Choose Setu - The Differentiator

Why Mauritius

Ranked 1st in Africa by the World Bank for ease of doing business, Mauritius provides a pro-investment environment with proven political stability, a reliable grid, and streamlined permits, reinforced by the nation's Digital Mauritius 2030 strategic plan.

Strategic Location

Positioned at the digital crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, Mauritius serves as a pivotal hub for international connectivity, offering low-latency reach to key global markets via an expanding network of world-class submarine cables.

Time-to-AI Advantage

Gain a crucial time-to-market advantage with direct, low-latency routes of approximately 35ms to South African cloud hubs. The government's focus on modular capacity and rapid interconnects accelerates AI workflows and reduces lead times for provisioning compute.

Sovereign, Compliant Edge

Leverage a robust legal framework with a national emphasis on data protection and predictable governance. Mauritius offers a strategic edge for regulated sectors, enabling sovereign, compliant hosting that satisfies regional data-residency requirements.

Carrier-Rich Connectivity

Benefit from a diverse and resilient network ecosystem connected by multiple subsea cable systems. With numerous carrier points-of-presence and robust peering to global clouds, Setu provides high-performance routing for mission-critical workloads.

Cost & Resilience Balance

Achieve an optimal balance of cost-efficiency and resilience. Our ecosystem combines competitive facility costs with cyclone-aware, redundancy-first infrastructure, strong grid reliability, and hardened connectivity routes to deliver investor-grade uptime.

Strategic Ecosystem Alignment

Our strategy involves deep collaboration with key Mauritian infrastructure leaders, including the Economic Development Board (EDB) for regulatory alignment, the Central Electricity Board (CEB) for sustainable power, and Mauritius Telecom (MT) for robust fiber connectivity. Setu is designed to be a cornerstone of the nation's Digital 2030 vision.

Insights: The Future of AI Infrastructure

1. The AI Power & Water Crisis

The exponential growth of AI is driving a dual crisis. Global data center electricity consumption is projected to surpass 1,000 TWh by 2030, double 2022 levels. This is paired with unsustainable water use, as generative AI models are estimated to consume 700-1,100 million cubic meters of water annually by 2030.

2. The Liquid Cooling Solution

Traditional air cooling is obsolete for high-density AI. Liquid cooling is essential, capable of cutting cooling energy by over 40% and lowering total PUE by 15%. This technology enables closed-loop, water-neutral systems, eliminating reliance on freshwater and solving the water crisis.

3. The Economic Case for Green AI

Sustainability is a primary driver of profitability. Green data centers can see over 50% reduction in operational costs. For investors, ESG is no longer optional; it is key to attracting clients with ESG mandates, de-risking assets, and meeting the demand from capital partners.
