Our Background
Founded in 2007, Teraco Data Environments has brought international best practice in vendor neutral Data Centre management to South Africa to give businesses a technically superior, physically safer and lower cost environment for their information systems.
Our founders saw an opportunity for a truly vendor neutral Data Centre offering in South Africa as the local telecommunications market deregulated. The possibility of providing a service that was not tied to any carrier or ISP became not only technically feasible and economically viable, but increasingly desirable to South African enterprises which needed unrestricted choice in how they interconnected their facilities and connected to the Internet. We manage colocation Data Centres in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg and will soon be expanding to other sites. Teraco is backed by leading international investors and Treacle Private Equity, a black owned South African private equity group. Teraco is a Level 2 contributor (DTI Codes).
