Africa
Data Centres, a business of Cassava Technologies, has disclosed that it has
been selected by iOCO, the colocation giant as a partner for data centre
services to expand its range of digital business offerings to the market.
According
to a statement, through the collaboration, iOCO’s customers will benefit from
Africa Data Centre’s best-in-class, secure data centre colocation services,
that will support iOCO’s leading-edge business transformation services.
In
addition, the partnership will open up Africa Data Centres’ capabilities to a
broader range of customers, offering them a wider choice of services to meet
their digital goals. “In today’s challenging business landscape, customers
expect more from their data centres and colocation partners than ever before,”
commented Tesh Durvasula, CEO of Africa Data Centres. “The skyrocketing
demand for everything digital, from cloud, automation, and a range of
Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) applications,
depends heavily on the modern data centre.”
Africa
Data Centres provides a true vendor- and carrier-neutral interconnected
ecosystem for customers to harness the benefits of iOCO’s offerings through
cutting-edge infrastructure that is capable of handling even the most demanding
compute requirements.
“iOCO
is excited to join forces with Africa Data Centres, boosting our data centre
capabilities and extending our Cloud platform to their Tier4 built data centre.
This expansion allows us to reach more customers and strategically positions us
with geographically dispersed data centres,” says Japie Botha, iOCO Business Executive for Cloud
Services.
“This
partnership not only expands our data centre capabilities but also enables us
to host customer data and systems at a lower cost in a top-tier facility,”
Botha adds. “Going beyond colocation services, our collaboration with Africa
Data Centres empowers iOCO to provide comprehensive data centre services,
reflecting our dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction.”
Businesses
that thrive today understand that success is more than technology or
infrastructure alone, but rather about outcomes aligned to organisational goals
such as operational efficiency, digital transformation, competitiveness,
next-generation IT, OT and automation. It’s also about maximising the use of
next-generation technologies, and realigning IT resources to where the demand
is greatest.
“In
order to achieve effective digital transformation, today’s businesses must be
able to access an ecosystem of networks and cloud providers at any time and
from anywhere. Working together, iOCO and Africa Data Centres can leverage
their complementary positions in the market to help customers achieve their
digital transformation goals,” concludes Durvasula.
