SOUTHERN AFRICAN EDGE INFRASTRUCTURE
Secure cabinet and room-based environments for compute, connectivity and AI workloads, located closer to the businesses and users they serve.
THE MDC AFRICA OFFER
Bring your equipment and workloads closer to demand. We develop and operate the physical data centre environment around them: power, backup, cooling, fibre access, fire protection and controlled access.
01 / SOLUTIONS
From a dedicated cabinet to a purpose-built room, each deployment is planned around the site's power, connectivity and operating requirements.
Illustrative conceptCompact, secure rack environments for operators needing a smaller footprint near a network route, customer site or regional demand point.
Illustrative conceptSmall, purpose-built rooms in established secure locations, designed for customers who need more capacity without operating their own server facility.
02 / INFRASTRUCTURE
Every location is assessed individually. The final specification depends on site capacity, customer equipment and operating needs.
Electrical reticulation, distribution and backup power planning for continuity at the edge.
Dedicated environmental systems sized to the proposed equipment and heat load.
Locations selected with practical routes for connectivity and carrier breakout.
Controlled access, fire protection and monitoring built into the site design.
Resilience is designed around the needs of each deployment. Formal Tier certification is not claimed.
03 / WORKLOADS
For teams whose compute or network equipment needs proximity, resilience and a managed physical environment.
Regional compute capacity closer to data sources and end users.
Network nodes and local processing where fibre routes and demand meet.
Near-premise hosting, private infrastructure and distributed workloads.
CDN, ISP and managed service equipment placed closer to customers.
04 / REGIONAL FOCUS
Our focus is accessible edge locations with a practical route to power, fibre and secure operations. Deployment planning can move from assessment to an operating site in approximately six months, subject to approvals and site readiness.
