Teraco has announced the completion of an upgrade of its Durban DB1 data centre.<\/p>\n
The expansion has doubled the facility’s capacity to 2.2MW of critical power load and increased its footprint to 5,800m2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n It now provides over 700 racks for cloud service providers and other businesses to deploy network equipment.<\/p>\n Teraco said that Durban was experiencing demand for additional data centre capacity and was therefore a logical destination for the company’s continued investment into infrastructure on the African continent.<\/p>\n “The DB1 expansion significantly adds to South and sub-Saharan Africa’s data centre infrastructure,” Teraco said.<\/p>\n “Organisations working to accelerate their digital transformation use Teraco to scale their IT infrastructure dynamically, adopt hybrid multi-cloud architectures, and interconnect with strategic business partners within the Platform Teraco ecosystem of global and local clients.”<\/p>\n The Teraco DB1 facility already supports 3,000 interconnects.<\/p>\n With its location on Durban’s north coast, DB1 is also a strategic interconnection hub on the African subsea cable map \u2014 with direct access to the Seacom, EASSy, and M\u00c9TISS running along the east coast of Africa.<\/p>\n It will soon also interconnect with the 2Africa cable system, which is yet to land on that side of South Africa’s coast.<\/p>\n Teraco said the DB1 facility offered clients secure colocation and interconnection services and the ability to leverage Teraco’s digital hubs in Johannesburg directly.<\/p>\n It connects to the Teraco campus in Isando, Johannesburg, through a wide choice of carriers on regional fibre routes, enabling clients to increase the number of partners they connect with and expand their reach into new markets.<\/p>\n “The DB1 facility provides enterprises with direct access to Platform Teraco, a rich ecosystem of over 250 network providers, global cloud on-ramps, subsea cable systems, access to over 100 managed service providers, and direct peering at NAPAfrica, Africa’s largest Internet exchange point,” Teraco said.<\/p>\n DB1’s expansion takes the total critical power load capacity at Teraco facilities to 186MW.<\/p>\n In addition to Durban, this figure includes the Isando Campus JB1\/JB3\/JB5 (70MW), Bredell Campus JB2\/JB4 (64MW), and Cape Town Campus CT1\/CT2 (50MW).<\/p>\n The expansion has doubled the facility’s capacity to 2.2MW of critical power load and increased its footprint to 5,800 square metres. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":515125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[19476,64655,35258,22807,321,81638,317,16484,441,90767],"class_list":["post-515123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cloud-hosting","tag-durban","tag-2africa","tag-cloud-services","tag-data-centres","tag-eassy","tag-metiss","tag-seacom","tag-servers","tag-teraco","tag-teraco-db1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515123"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":515133,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515123\/revisions\/515133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Direct link to Joburg hubs<\/h2>\n
