Teraco has announced a 30 megawatt (MW) expansion of its CT2 hyperscale data centre facility in Brackenfell, Cape Town.<\/p>\n
The company expects to complete the expansion project in early 2025, incorporating the latest environmentally sustainable cooling and water management designs.<\/p>\n
Teraco said CT2\u2019s expansion is being built in line with global hyperscale requirements.<\/p>\n
On completion, CT2 will comprise 73,000 square metres of building structure serviced by 90 megavolt-amperes of utility power supply.<\/p>\n
The expansion will double the number of data halls to 16, increasing the facility\u2019s deployment space to 18,000 square metres.<\/p>\n
CT2 Phase 2 will comprise four data halls of 5.3MW, two data halls of 3.1MW, and a further two data halls of 2.2MW.<\/p>\n
The entire facility will support an IT load of 50MW.<\/p>\n
Teraco CEO Jan Hnizdo said the new CT2 facility offers enterprises a scalable platform for IT infrastructure deployment while providing performance, reliability, stringent security, and the widest choice of carriers and network service providers.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeraco is committed to growing its capacity footprint across its core hubs,\u201d Hnizdo stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continue to invest significantly in the region\u2019s ICT infrastructure and have built out Africa\u2019s largest data centre platform,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take pride in enabling open access interconnection and providing world-class data centre infrastructure for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of Teraco\u2019s Cape Town Campus, CT2 is connected to CT1 with diverse fibre routes and provides enterprises with direct access to over 250 network providers, global cloud on-ramps, subsea cable systems, access to over 50 managed service providers, and direct peering at NAPAfrica.<\/p>\n
Clients deployed in either of these facilities can connect directly to AWS Direct Connect and Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute or via Teraco\u2019s Africa Cloud Exchange.<\/p>\n
CT2 is the latest expansion to Teraco\u2019s growing data centre platform.<\/p>\n
It increases the critical power load capacity at Teraco facilities to 185MW, which includes the Isando Campus JB1\/JB3\/JB5 (70MW), Bredell Campus JB2\/JB4 (64MW), Cape Town Campus CT1\/CT2 (50MW), and Durban (1MW).<\/p>\n
