According to Teraco, the facility is built in line with global hyperscale requirements and international compliance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“JB4 has been designed with sustainability at its core, incorporating a state-of-the-art closed-loop chilled water system that provides free air cooling,” says Teraco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility also uses AI-enabled technology to configure hall cooling in real-time, based on IT load and load dispersion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This innovative design achieves industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), significantly reducing energy consumption while using zero water during ongoing cooling,” says Teraco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It highlighted that using zero water during cooling, thanks to the closed-loop system, is an important feature considering water scarcity and supply reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The JB4 expansion, built to stringent global hyperscale specifications, contributed significantly to the South African and sub-Saharan African data centre footprint,” said Teraco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This follows the recent completion of Teraco’s new hyperscale JB5 Isando facility, which adds another 30MW of critical IT power to Teraco’s Isando Campus in Ekurhuleni.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teraco CEO Jan Hnizdo said the company was well-positioned to continue on its growth trajectory, thanks to sustained demand from enterprises and hyperscale clients for hybrid cloud and cloud deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“South Africa has become the technology and data centre hub for sub-Saharan Africa, acting as a springboard for cloud, AI, and content provision into Africa,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Massive global investments in undersea cables, such as Equiano and 2Africa, further strengthen this position.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that these investments will enable global cloud providers to service the South African market and the rest of the sub-Saharan African region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Teraco is dedicated to expanding its capacity across key hubs, ensuring our clients have the flexibility to scale and fully leverage digital transformation across the region,” says Hnizdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We continue to make significant investments in ICT infrastructure and have established Africa’s largest data centre platform.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combined, Teraco’s growing data centre platform comprises 189MW of critical power load across the Isando, Bredell, Cape Town, and Durban campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
