    Open Access Data Centres: Hyperscale infrastructure with green credentials

    Backed by over US $500 million in investment and support from IFC, Proparco, and African telecom operators, OADC builds resilient, scalable data centres. The Lagos facility alone supports up to 24 MW of power and 3,200 rack positions, with advanced certifications like Uptime Tier III, ISO 27001 and Green Star (in progress).

    Open Access Data Centres: Core and edge reach for low-latency performance

    OADC’s footprint spans core data centres in major cable landing cities (Lagos, Kinshasa, South Africa) and over 30 edge sites in South Africa. This hybrid model ensures high-speed, low-latency access and local data sovereignty.

    Open Access Data Centres: Interconnection layer and client services

    Through its OAfabric platform and WIOCC’s extensive digital backbone, OADC offers on-demand virtual connectivity across sites. Clients benefit from rich interconnect options, professional support, and flexible colocation solutions tailored for global cloud, enterprise, government and telecom customers.

    Open Access Data Centres: Expanding swiftly to meet demand

    Since its 2018 launch, OADC has become Africa’s fastest-growing data centre provider. Recent expansions include the Kinshasa centre, now fully operational, and plans for a massive $240 million, 24 MW data centre in Lagos aimed at supporting AI‑ready workloads and hyperscale tenants.
