Three open-access data centres launched in SA
These new edge data centres represent a further stage in the deployment of OADC’s unique and expanding, core-to-edge data centre architecture
Data centre services provider and Africa’s edge data centre leader, and part of the West Indian Ocean Cable Company Group, Open Access Data Centres (OADC) has launched three new OADC Edge data centres in South Africa.
Located on national fibre routes to ensure availability of high-capacity interconnectivity, the new OADC Edge data centres went live at the end of September in East London, George and Paarl.
“These new edge data centres represent a further stage in the deployment of OADC’s unique and expanding, core-to-edge data centre architecture, which is consolidating edge computing, edge data centres and hyperscale connectivity within a single ecosystem, OADC Edge,” says OADC CEO Dr Ayotunde Coker.
“We are continuing our OADC Edge expansion to more of South Africa’s business hubs to meet the demands of fifth-generation operators, Internet service providers and fibre operators for support in extending network reach into even more locations.”
The group has nearly 30 operational Edge facilities, with data centres to be deployed in more countries in the new year.
The OADC Edge architecture enables clients to cost- effectively and rapidly deploy high-quality, low-latency network infrastructure and expand coverage into new markets, while minimising latency with content served near points of use.
Further, the OADC Edge facilities are secure and power- assured, offering clients an option for off-site data storage, processing and disaster recovery.
The ability to preprocess large volumes of critical data at the edge, before forwarding to larger, regional facilities, also improves efficiency and optimises network costs by minimising backhaul network expenditure.
“Like our core data centres, OADC Edge facilities are open-access and carrier-neutral. Any licensed operator can bring fibre into OADC data centres at no charge to support clients’ connectivity requirements.
