SEACOM partners with Teraco for colocation services

SEACOM has teamed up with Teraco – Africa’s leading carrier-neutral data centre – to offer enterprise-grade colocation services to businesses in South Africa. By partnering with a vendor-neutral data environment, companies can avoid the limitations of hosting their own servers on their premises, such as the costs of maintenance and energy consumption, as well as the space restrictions that come with it.

A vendor-neutral data environment enables companies to focus on their core operations without worrying about the challenges and costs of maintaining their own IT infrastructure, giving them more time and resources to focus on growth and innovation.

There are many business benefits of colocation, but companies need to ensure that they choose the right service providers in order to maximise these advantages. Teraco forms a vital part of the data centre infrastructure in Africa and SEACOM is a leading connectivity services provider with an expansive network. This partnership is well-positioned to offer world-class cloud computing and data services to enterprises.

SEACOM’s fully-managed service is backed by an industry-leading 99.999% service-level agreement (SLA) with guaranteed power availability and resilience. It also includes interconnection provisioning, cabling, six layers of security, fire suppression and remote hands for ultimate peace of mind that your computing requirements will always be met.

Colocation within Africa’s largest ecosystem

Simplify your connectivity strategy by securely interconnecting within Africa’s largest ecosystem. Our colocation services provide multiple cross-connection points with direct access to all major cloud service providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Oracle.

In addition, the colocation service allows your enterprise to connect directly to cloud on-ramps or via Teraco’s Africa Cloud Exchange (ACX). ACX is built with carrier-grade hardware offering a single physical connection to support multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs).

ACX offers a private connection to the cloud bypassing the public internet, reducing existing network costs and providing a secure, highly scalable solution to the cloud. Virtual connections to multiple clouds and highly secure connectivity are two major benefits of this service. This reduces network costs and provides a scalable and speedy connection with low latency and round-the-clock technical support.

Teraco accreditations

Along with leading network infrastructure, Teraco’s facilities hold numerous accreditations that guarantee service delivery. These include ISO 27001 for information security management systems, ISO 9001 for quality management systems, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 50001 for energy management systems.

There is a range of other national and international certifications for security standards and sustainability, making these data centres the first choice for large enterprises and multinational conglomerates with branches in South Africa. The partnership between SEACOM and Teraco delivers world-class colocation services through exceptional facilities to our customers.
