Teraco has reported that its Cape Town data centre has continued to grow on the back of strong demand for colocation services.

Teraco describes itself as Africa's only vendor neutral data centre colocation operator. It builds and operates its colocation data centres for the most demanding IT infrastructure requirements.

Lex van Wyk, chief executive officer at Teraco said the continued demand resulted in Teraco building a third dedicated colocation data centre.

"The addition resulted in an increase of 1000sqm of white space, growing the total footprint in Cape Town to over 1600sqm," he said.

Van Wyk stated that additional power and back-up generation plants to support the new data centre are under construction and due for completion in April 2015.

"The expansion of Cape Town's data centre is further proof of Teraco's continued contribution to the growth of Cape Town's business economy. We support the city with its drive to establish Cape Town as a key innovation and technology hub in the South African market," concluded van Wyk.
