"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.
