Rack Centre, part of the Jagal Group, has gone live with the first phase of its Tier III datacentre in Nigeria offering around 3,000 rack spaces and 6mVA of power.
Rack Centre is the first Tier III designed, neutral colocation datacentre facility offering services in Nigeria and Western Africa and has set its sights on positioning Nigeria at the centre of the worldwide growth in disaster recovery, data storage and cloud based data centre services.
The datacentre is located in the heart of Ikeja close to the main commercial areas of Lagos and is situated on a 20,000 sq m green field site. Rack Centre took into account the possible hazards of building critical datacentre operations on one of the Lagos islands, choosing the site partly because it is over 23 meters above sea level and is one of the highest points in the city.
