NAPAfrica currently has 2 244 physically connected ports and a total connected capacity of 41.5Tbps.
Teraco recently completed significant expansions at several facilities to enhance its infrastructure.
NAPAfrica remains Africa’s fastest-growing internet exchange point and one of the global top 10 internet exchanges by total traffic volume, the company says.
The company has signed a power purchase agreement with integrated energy aggregator NOA to supply wind-powered renewable energy to Teraco’s data centres.
The facility, known as JB7, is a hyperscale data centre with 40 megawatts of critical power load.
Teraco will own the 120MW solar PV plant in the Free State and wheel the renewable energy to its data centres.
NAPAfrica has become the first internet exchange in Africa to offer 400Gbps interconnect options, catering to the needs of large-scale content providers and cloud service providers.
Connecting to Google’s Cloud Interconnect means traffic does not traverse the public internet.
Teraco’s DB1 facility offers clients secure colocation and interconnection services and the ability to leverage Teraco’s digital hubs in Johannesburg.
NAPAfrica reached the 3Tbps traffic threshold in March 2023, representing a 33% growth in traffic volumes in under a year.
The CT2 facility offers highly resilient and secure colocation facilities in line with Teraco’s long-term vision of enabling digital transformation across Africa.
Teraco has committed to powering its data centre colocation facilities with 50% renewable energy by 2027 and 100% by 2035.
