Internet Solutions has offered a preview of its new Parklands data centre in Rosebank, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n
The Parklands data centre is a R500-million investment by the company, which owns and operates a network of 17 data centres across South Africa.<\/p>\n
The new data centre is set to officially begin operating in January 2019 and boasts 1,600 square metres of floor space along with 572 racks and 2.2MW of power.<\/p>\n
IS Data Centres executive head Matthew Ashe said the Parklands data centre will be a world-class facility designed to be ideal for low-latency application environments.<\/p>\n
“People and businesses are producing and consuming vast quantities of data and the security of that information has never been more important,” Ashe said.<\/p>\n
“The Parklands Data Centre allows data to be collected, stored and processed locally from a purpose-built modern facility that will help run our services faster and more efficiently.”<\/p>\n
Energy efficiency is a central consideration for the design of the data centre, Ashe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIS remains committed to reducing energy consumption across our data centres, and we won\u2019t stop looking at new ways to advance,” said Ashe.<\/p>\n
“The benefits are threefold \u2013 we keep our costs down, we dramatically reduce our impact on our environment, and ultimately pass the savings on to our customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
