Teraco completes Durban data center expansion to double capacity

Teraco's DB1, located on Durban's north coast, stands as a crucial interconnection hub on the African subsea cable map. It provides direct access to major subsea cable systems such as Seacom, EASSy, MÉTISS, and the upcoming 2Africa cable systems, linking the east coast of Africa.

Teraco's DB1 facility is linked to the Teraco campus in Isando, Johannesburg, through diverse regional fiber routes, allowing clients to enhance their connectivity and extend their reach into new markets. Offering secure colocation and interconnection services, the DB1 facility enables clients to leverage Teraco's digital hubs in Johannesburg directly.

The recent expansion of the DB1 facility addresses the increasing demand for data center capacity from enterprises and cloud service providers. The expansion has doubled DB1's capacity to 2.2 megawatts (MW) of critical power load, with the facility now encompassing 5,800 square meters of building structure accommodating over 700 racks. This expansion aligns with Teraco's overarching vision of facilitating digital transformation across Africa.
