Internet Solutions has broken ground on a prefabricated extension to its Parklands data centre.<\/p>\n
The company said the\u00a0extension is the first of its kind at this scale in sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n
“Its design accommodates flexible modules, tailored to specific market requirements, contained within a modern exterior structure,” said IS.<\/p>\n
Phase one of the expansion will come online in July 2018 and will contain 130 racks.<\/p>\n
“Subsequent modules will be ordered in configurations best suited to client demands. On completion, at a total cost of approximately half a billion rand, the data centre will provide a total capacity of 572 racks and 2.2 megawatts of IT power.”<\/p>\n
IS said traditional brick-and-mortar facilities require substantial initial capital outlay and typically take at least 24 months to build and bring online. Prefabricated units can be added in a much shorter time frame.<\/p>\n
“With all data centre systems configured and tested in concert by a single contractor, the result is a high-quality facility built to international standards with minimal snagging at the end of the project.”<\/p>\n
