Data centre boom in South Africa

South Africa's data centre market is expanding quickly, with providers investing more to build bigger and more advanced data centres.

Teraco kicked off the carrier-neutral data centre revolution in South Africa and was quickly joined by the likes of Huawei and Microsoft. The list of companies with facilities in the country has continued to grow since.

Teraco finishes phase one of new hyperscale facility​

In November 2022, Teraco — the country’s largest data centre provider — completed the first phase of a new hyperscale facility at its Bredell Campus in Ekurhuleni.

Dubbed JB4, the facility’s first phase includes 8,000m2 of data hall space across eight equally-sized sections and 19MW of critical power load.

It also includes 30,000m2 of building structure space which the company said will be doubled with phase 2.

Once completed, it will be serviced by 80MW of utility power supply and have a critical power load of 50W.

50W ?
