1. TELEHOUSE JOHANNESBURG(1) Features
TELEHOUSE EUROPE will open TELEHOUSE JOHANNESBURG in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa and location to many Japanese companies, and provide approximately 500 square meters of colocation service space to customers. The room temperature and humidity, electrical load environment and security by surveillance cameras in the newly erected data center building will be centrally controlled by TELEHOUSE JOHANNESBURG. In addition to being prepared for any outbreak of disruption caused by power failure or lightning, the facility is equipped with various preventative equipment, including the latest fire and flood detection systems, to prevent unexpected problems, thus ensuring comprehensive security for ICT assets entrusted to the center by customers.
South Africa is a relay point for undersea cables off the western and eastern coasts of the African continent, and with the growing expansion of customers from Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia, the infrastructure is expected to be upgraded and strengthened. For this purpose, the KDDI Group has opened two data centers, in Cape Town and Johannesburg, to address this demand. The two data centers will also meet the demand for BCP [1] and DR [2] within South Africa itself.
