Disclosing this in a statement, the firm said that the presence of TelCables Nigeria, a subsidiary of global ICT solutions and services provider, Angola Cables is set to boost low-latency interconnectivity and Cloud access across West Africa, significantly advancing the region’s digital infrastructure.
CEO, Rack Centre, Lars Johannisson, said that welcoming TelCables Nigeria to the facility, highlighted the ongoing expansion of Rack Centre’s Lagos campus with the near completion of the LGS 2 Data Centre, which will bring the facility’s total capacity to 13.5MW of IT power and 7,200 square meters of space.
According to him, “This is a major step for Africa’s digital development as access to the infrastructure necessary to drive and expand digital ecosystems across the continent, boost innovation and ultimately drive economic growth within Nigeria and across the continent will be readily available.”
He explained further that the LGS 2 data centre has also been developed to ensure AI-readiness that allows for enhanced data processing and storage capabilities, which are critical for businesses and organisations that are embracing artificial intelligence and machine learning.’’
