Paratus Africa (Paratus Angola DC2) Data Center

DC2, built in 2019 to address increasing infrastructure demand, is a modern standalone data center designed to the latest industry standards. It supports a total capacity of 180 racks and a fully built-out power availability of 2 megawatts. The facility offers flexible colocation options, including private cages, customized suites, full and partial cabinets, and shared rackspace to meet diverse client needs.

Engineered for high availability, DC2 incorporates N+1 redundancy across its UPS systems, cooling infrastructure, and standby power systems. Its resilient power architecture is supported by three generators and an onsite fuel autonomy of up to two weeks, ensuring uninterrupted data center operations even during extended outages.

As a carrier-neutral facility, DC2 provides seamless connectivity to all national operators. It offers redundant 200 Gbps international connectivity through major submarine cables such as SAT-3, WACS, and SACS, as well as links to local IXPs and other national data centers. Key features include a direct connection to the Angola IXP, fully redundant 200 Gbps DWDM interconnections with Luanda data centers, diverse connectivity options via fiber, wireless, and VSAT, and access to four peering networks.

Security is enforced through multiple layers beginning with a fenced perimeter and continuous 24/7/365 entry and exit control at the main gate, data center entrance, and loading zones. A dedicated security entrance provides dual-factor authentication using RFID and biometric verification. Clients may opt for enhanced security through individual cabinet locks and RFID-enabled cage access, all monitored by extensive CCTV surveillance.

DC2 operates around the clock with a dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) and onsite technical staff providing continuous monitoring and remote hands support. Clients receive 24/7 access and benefit from on-site amenities such as offices, workspaces, a guest house, and a full-service restaurant.
