What We're Building

AI Runs on Real Hardware. We Supply It.

The AI economy is not just software — it is racks, GPUs, interconnects, cooling, and power. Every large language model, computer vision system, or fraud-detection engine demands physical compute.

Chert extends its 15-year enterprise infrastructure expertise into this layer — bringing purpose-built AI compute from Dell, HPE, and Supermicro to banks, telcos, government agencies, fintechs, and research institutions across Nigeria and West Africa.

Applications

What Nigerian Enterprises Are Building with AI Compute.

Financial Services & Fraud Detection

Banks and fintechs deploy on-premise GPU clusters to run real-time transaction scoring, AML models, and KYC document intelligence — keeping sensitive financial data fully in-country.

BankingFintechInsurance

Telco Network Intelligence

Telecoms use AI inference hardware to process network anomaly detection, churn prediction, and customer support automation at scale — directly within their core data centres.

TelcoISPNetwork Ops

Government & Public Sector AI

MDAs deploying document processing pipelines, citizen services chatbots, and biometric identity systems on sovereign infrastructure — fully compliant with NDPA 2023.

GovernmentNDPA 2023e-Gov

Research, EdTech & Academia

Universities and research institutions accessing HPC-grade compute for NLP in African languages, medical imaging analysis, and climate/agricultural modelling workloads.

ResearchEdTechHealth
Beyond Servers

The Complete AI Infrastructure Stack.

From storage to networking, power to managed services — Chert delivers every layer your AI workloads need.

AI-Ready Storage

High-throughput NVMe arrays and parallel file systems (GPFS, Lustre) for feeding large datasets to training pipelines without I/O bottlenecks.

High-Speed Networking

InfiniBand NDR and 400G Ethernet interconnects for multi-node GPU clusters — enabling distributed training with near-zero latency between nodes.

Power & Cooling

AI workloads draw 5–10× more power than standard servers. We scope facility capacity and supply UPS, precision cooling, and generator integration.

Managed AI Platform

Full-stack managed service: hardware procurement, racking, OS config, MLOps tooling (Kubernetes, Slurm), and 24/7 monitoring from our Lagos NOC.

Cluster Fabric & Cabling

Professional structured cabling, fibre interconnects, and InfiniBand fabric design — done right the first time, by certified engineers on-site.

AMC & Spares Management

Annual maintenance contracts with defined SLAs, on-site spare parts, and response-time guarantees from Chert's Lagos engineering team.

How It Works

From Brief to Live Cluster in Four Steps.

01

Discovery & Scoping

We assess your AI workload, data volumes, latency requirements, and facility constraints to design the right architecture and select the optimal OEM.

02

BOM & Procurement

We produce a bill of materials, source from authorised OEM channels, handle import clearance and logistics to your data centre or server room.

03

Deployment & Commissioning

Our engineers rack, cable, configure, and validate the full stack — compute, storage, networking, OS, and MLOps software layers.

04

AMC & Ongoing Support

SLA-backed support, monitoring, firmware updates, and spare hardware management — from our Lagos-based NOC and field engineering team.

Why Chert

Enterprises Trust Chert with Their Foundation.

01

Local Presence, Direct OEM Access

Lagos-based with direct OEM relationships with Dell, HPE, and Supermicro. No grey-market hardware. Full warranty. Proven import clearance track record.

02

NDPA 2023 & Data Sovereignty

Every deployment is architected to keep data within Nigeria's borders — compliant with NDPA 2023 without sacrificing performance or GPU utilisation rates.

03

End-to-End, Not Just a Vendor

We scope, procure, ship, rack, cable, configure, and commission. Then we stay — AMC contracts, spare parts pools, and on-site SLA response.

04

15 Years of Enterprise Trust

GTBank, Airtel, TotalEnergies, DHL, IITA, Fidelity Bank. We understand Nigerian procurement cycles, compliance requirements, and enterprise-grade SLAs.

05

OEM-Agnostic Recommendation

We partner with Dell, HPE, and Supermicro — our recommendation is based on your workload, budget, and support needs, not vendor margins.
