Cape Town and Midrand at the Heart of Infrastructure Expansion
Africa Data Centres, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies and Africa’s largest interconnected, cloud- and vendor-neutral data centre platform, has entered a strategic commercial partnership with Blue Turtle Technologies, one of South Africa’s leading enterprise IT solution providers. The collaboration focuses on deploying advanced colocation services at Africa Data Centres’ Cape Town and Midrand facilities—two of the country’s most vital digital infrastructure hubs.
Enabling Scalable, Secure Enterprise Cloud Solutions
The agreement empowers Blue Turtle Technologies to provision multiple racks within these facilities, delivering secure, compliant, and high-performance colocation and private hosted cloud services to its enterprise clients. This move is poised to enhance the ability of South African businesses to transition from traditional on-premises infrastructure to more scalable, cloud-based solutions that meet modern performance and compliance demands.
Driving Digital Transformation Across South Africa
“This partnership enables us to offer customers trusted colocation and private cloud solutions in two of South Africa’s most strategic data centre locations,”
said Jan Hitge, Business Development Manager, Managed Services at Blue Turtle Technologies.
“As enterprise clients increasingly look for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient alternatives to on-premises infrastructure, we anticipate strong market uptake—a confidence reflected in the accelerated ramp-up timeline we’ve committed to.”
Supporting Compliance, Connectivity, and Continuity
Through this alliance, enterprise customers gain access to infrastructure with built-in support for regulatory compliance, including South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). The data centres also offer low-latency connectivity and disaster recovery capabilities—critical features for modern businesses seeking to strengthen operational resilience and meet stringent data sovereignty requirements.
Building Africa’s Digital Backbone
“This agreement is about more than just filling racks; it’s about enabling digital transformation across the economy,”
commented Adil El Youssefi, CEO of Africa Data Centres.
“Blue Turtle brings a strong client base and the ability to scale rapidly, making them an ideal partner in our mission to deliver secure, resilient, and sustainable digital infrastructure across South Africa. As demand for trusted infrastructure continues to climb, we will work towards this partnership evolving to support broader cloud initiatives, edge computing, and AI-ready infrastructure deployments.”
A Shared Vision for South Africa’s Technology Future
As South Africa positions itself as a technology leader on the continent, partnerships like this one are key to building a robust, future-ready IT environment. With Blue Turtle’s proven market reach and Africa Data Centres’ infrastructure leadership, this collaboration is set to play a critical role in accelerating digital adoption, innovation, and economic growth across the enterprise sector.
