Our Sites
Over the next five years, we are committing US$500m of investment into deploying and operating the most client-centric data centres in Africa.
Enterprises, cloud operators, content providers – and the ecosystems supporting and supported by them – are changing their infrastructure deployment strategies, either to fulfil demand for content to move closer to the edge of the network, giving improved availability and premium performance, or to optimise networking and storage costs by pre-processing data locally. No longer is a presence in a single data centre sufficient to address a country or region. Instead, the need to make content available – and to process ever-greater volumes of data – closer to where it is generated or consumed, is increasingly demanding a core-to-edge architecture comprising meshed local edge and core data centres, fully connected into Africa’s network infrastructure across multiple countries and cities.
Under this investment programme, we will launch OADC facilities in up to 20 countries across Africa. Our current roadmap includes the following locations:
- Accra, Ghana
- Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
- Cape Town, South Africa
- Durban, South Africa
- Johannesburg, South Africa
- Kinshasa, DRC
- Lagos & multiple cities, Nigeria
- Mogadishu, Somalia
- Mombasa, Kenya
- Nairobi, Kenya
