This facility is a leading Carrier Neutral Tier III Data Centre in Africa, situated on a 22,000 sqm site within a secure private estate. A significant advantage of its location is its elevation, as it sits 30 meters above sea level—the highest point in the area—which greatly reduces the risk of flooding. The purpose-built data centre has been operational since 2013 and offers expandable whitespace, currently built out to 1,094 sq.m.
The data centre emphasizes reliability, maintaining 100% uptime with zero downtime since its launch in October 2013. This is achieved through a sophisticated N+N power architecture, which helped it become the first and only carrier-neutral colocation provider in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve the Uptime Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF). It features N+1 redundancy for its UPS, cooling, and standby power systems, with a fully built-out power capacity of 1.5 MW.
As a carrier-neutral facility, the data centre provides a network-abundant environment. It offers direct connections to over 40 local carriers and all five major undersea cables serving the region: ACE, GLO1, MainOne, SAT-3, and WACS. The site also hosts a Meet-Me-Room (MMR), one Internet Exchange Point, and access to 70 peering networks, offering clients diverse connectivity options.
The facility is protected by robust, 24/7 security measures. This includes a fenced perimeter, comprehensive CCTV surveillance, and biometric access control. The building is also equipped with automatic fire suppression systems. Both onsite security staff and technical staff are available 24/7 to ensure operational integrity and provide services such as "Remote Hands."
Rack Centre targets a regional industry-leading Power Utilisation Efficiency (PUE) benchmark of 1.5. The company is actively working on green data centre initiatives to contribute toward Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry Innovation, and Climate Action. Furthermore, the facility holds multiple certifications, including ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 22301, and is DSS PCI Compliant.
