Africa Data Centres' Samrand data centre — all the details

Africa Data Centres' Samrand facility is one of the only top-tier data centres on the continent, featuring fully redundant infrastructure, 6,000 square metres of white space, and approximately 2,400 racks.

The data centre also has the potential for significant expansion, with access to 30MW of power to grow the facility.

These days one would have to ask how dependant the Data Center is on Eskom power along with how long they can sustainably survive on diesel powered generators before costs exceed income or diesel reserves are depleted.
