Data centers in and around Centurion

[devnull101]

Hi Guys

Random question but does anyone have a list of recommended data centers in and around the Centurion area? Have contacted Hetzner but their power and bandwidth pricing is a bit steep. I am looking for a full rack. Would appreciate any help.

My understanding is their power is at cost. Bandwidth is 60c per GB which is competitive?

MWEB / IS IGNITE provide unlimited data unlimited power, though they are not located within Centurion.

Midrand, Samrand or as close to Centurion as possible would be ideal.

For what purpose? Easy access? Johannesburg may be better at Teraco with NAP and ping is not an issue. Depends on your requirements.

Thanks koeksGHT. Mostly for easy access yes, Johannesburg is a bit far.

Is the cost of driving a bit further less than what you require in bandwidth costs if your systems uses CDN traffic?

I would avoid Neotel at all cost.

It's more about being able to get to the the DC quickly should I need to than the cost of driving there. Johannesburg means traveling further through more traffic resulting in more down time in the event of an emergency. Centurion means less traffic to have to deal with.

Cipherwave is in Midrand, not sure how their prices compare to others.

I mean costs of bandwidth.

Telkom has a data center in Centurion.

I think MTN Business has one near the SA mint

XDSL has a once in Centurion as well as ICT Globe, but for service and costs wise you will not find better than Hetzner.
