📄 Editorial Review

Teraco is a specialist datacenter and interconnection provider rather than a classic web host. Founded in 2007, they focus on vendor-neutral colocation facilities and interconnection platforms that sit at the heart of South Africa’s internet infrastructure and cloud ecosystem. Their facilities are used by enterprises, carriers, cloud providers, content platforms, fintech companies, and service providers that need resilient infrastructure and dense connectivity rather than simple shared hosting or low-end VPS.

The company operates under the Teraco Data Environments brand and is majority-owned by Digital Realty, giving clients access to a globally integrated datacenter platform while keeping operations, facilities, and support rooted in South Africa. Teraco runs one of Africa’s largest interconnection hubs, with seven data centre locations across three metros (Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban) and thousands of physical and virtual cross-connects between networks, clouds, and enterprises. Their platform is built around three pillars: colocation, cloud on-ramps, and interconnection/peering.

From a product perspective, the core offering is colocation: secure racks, cages, and suites for customers’ own servers and network gear. Colocation is delivered in purpose-built, high-density facilities with strict physical security, extensive power redundancy, and advanced cooling. Customers keep control of their hardware but rely on Teraco for the building, power, cooling, and physical security. This is explicitly targeted at organizations that have outgrown in-house server rooms or want to exit their own data centre and move into a professionally run neutral facility.

On top of colocation, Teraco operates the Africa Cloud Exchange (ACX), a connectivity fabric that provides private, low-latency on-ramps to major cloud platforms such as AWS (via Direct Connect), Microsoft Azure (via ExpressRoute), and Google Cloud, alongside access to a broad ecosystem of local and global cloud providers. ACX makes it possible to design hybrid and multi-cloud architectures where workloads sit inside Teraco while connecting directly and privately to multiple clouds, bypassing the public internet.

Teraco also underpins network and internet peering in the region. Within their facilities, customers can peer at NAPAfrica, one of Africa’s largest internet exchange points, with access to hundreds of autonomous systems (ASNs), major global CDNs, hyperscale platforms, and regional carriers. Peering at NAPAfrica is promoted as cost-effective and performance-oriented, keeping African traffic within Africa and substantially lowering latency for end users.

Interconnection services complete the portfolio: physical cross-connects, virtual cross-connects over ACX, and access to multiple carriers, fibre routes, satellite uplinks, and subsea cable systems from a single campus. This combination of colocation, peering, and private cloud connectivity positions Teraco as a strategic network and cloud hub, not a retail hosting company. Businesses looking for domain registration, shared hosting, or managed VPS will typically work with one of the managed service providers or hosting companies colocated at Teraco rather than buying those services directly from Teraco itself.

In terms of compliance and governance, Teraco operates to a broad set of internationally recognised standards, including PCI DSS for physical security, multiple ISO certifications (27001 for information security, 9001 for quality, 14001 for environmental management, 50001 for energy management), and ISAE 3402 Type 2 attestation for security and availability controls. Combined with an EcoVadis ESG rating, this reflects a strong focus on security, quality, and sustainability across all facilities.
