that it is constructing a new data centre data centre in Samrand, Gauteng, and the facility is nearing completion.<\/p>\n<p>This data centre design is based on Hetzner\u2019s German engineered data centre structure and technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHetzner South Africa\u2019s building design and data centre efficiencies have been modelled off of Hetzner Online\u2019s German facilities, including reducing our dependency on power intensive air-conditioning,\u201d said <a title=\"Athena Turner\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php\/540221-Athena-Turner\">Athena Turner<\/a>, marketing and communications manager for Hetzner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever the ambient temperature allows for it, we will make use of direct free cooling which reduces power consumption significantly,\u201d said Turner.<\/p>\n<p>The new facility, with a hosting capacity of 1,200 square meters, can house in excess of 12,000 servers.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Hetzner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hetzner.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hetzner<\/strong><\/a> said that it expects to open the doors of its new Gauteng facility in late 2013.<\/p>\n<p>MyBroadband paid Hetzner\u2019s data centre construction site a visit, and the following photos show that the construction of the new facility is progressing well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84005\" style=\"width:
