Africa Cloud eXchange (ACX)

In terms of population and landmass, Africa is the second largest continent in the world. Amazingly, a majority of the 1.5 billion people living on the continent survive every day with little to no access to electricity.” (Africa – a continent in shadows. 2009)

Due to the lack of reliable power and infrastructure around Africa, an opportunity exists to establish South Africa as a central hub from which international connectivity and cloud services providers are able to support the rest of Africa’s needs.

Africa Cloud eXchange (ACX) allows South African and African cloud providers to host their platform in the most fibre connected and energy resilient data centre environments in Africa. Teraco’s provision of a dedicated physical infrastructure environment opens up South African infrastructure to the rest of the continent.

Together with existing benefits like free peering through NAPAfrica, cost effective interconnects, access to major carriers (local and international), access to content providers, resilient power, 24/7 support and the highest levels of security, Teraco is the natural choice of data centre environment to colocate cloud services.
