Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Global data centre provider Digital Realty Trust plans further investments in Africa after agreeing to buy South Africa\u2019s Teraco, Digital Realty CFO Andy Power tells The Africa Report.<\/p>\n

The company this month agreed to buy a majority stake in Teraco, Africa\u2019s largest data centre platform, from investors including Berkshire Partners and Permira in a deal that values Teraco at about $3.5b.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s management, led by CEO Jan Hnizdo, will remain in place.<\/p>\n

Africa has about 140,000 square metres of data centre space, the same as Switzerland.<\/p>\n

According to global real-estate consultancy Knight Frank, that will climb by 50% over the next five years, driven by digitisation and the roll-out of 4G and 5G infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Demand for African data centres will continue to expand in the 2030s as the population grows and Internet access widens, Knight Frank says.<\/p>\n
