Africa Data Centres (ADC) is partnering with Blue Turtle, a South African enterprise IT solutions provider, to provide colocation services in Cape Town and Midrand data centres, expanding the country's enterprise cloud and digital infrastructure ecosystem.
According to the companies, the agreement would provide local enterprise customers with secure, scalable, and compliant colocation and private hosted cloud services.
Also, the alliance enables Blue Turtle to deploy several racks, providing their enterprise clients with access to secure, and compliant colocation and private hosted cloud services, said ADC.
The partnership, according to the company, is expected to help enterprises modernise their IT environments, improve security posture, and meet evolving data sovereignty requirements under laws such as South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act by providing high-availability colocation services backed by regulatory compliance, low-latency connectivity, and disaster recovery capabilities.
It added that the agreement will also allow South African businesses the opportunity to rapidly embrace cloud computing, digital transformation, and data-driven operations in a scalable, compliant, and high-performance colocation environment.
“This agreement is about more than just filling racks, it’s about enabling digital transformation across the economy,” said Adil El Youssefi, ADC CEO.
He adds: “Blue Turtle brings a strong client base and the ability to scale rapidly, making them an ideal partner in our mission to deliver secure, resilient, and sustainable digital infrastructure across South Africa.
"As demand for trusted infrastructure continues to climb, we will work towards this partnership evolving to support broader cloud initiatives, edge computing, and artificial intelligence-ready infrastructure deployments.”
Jan Hitge, head of managed services at Blue Turtle said the partnership is about recognising the need for trusted colocation and private cloud solutions for clients in two of South Africa’s most strategic data centre locations.
“As enterprise clients increasingly look for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient alternatives to on-premises infrastructure, we anticipate strong market uptake, a confidence reflected in the accelerated ramp-up timeline we’ve committed to.”
