The partnership enables Blue Turtle to deploy several racks, providing their enterprise clients with access to world-class, secure, and compliant colocation and private hosted cloud services. Additionally, this collaboration will also allow South African businesses the opportunity to rapidly embrace cloud computing, digital transformation, and data-driven operations in a scalable, compliant, and high-performance colocation environment.
“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, Head of Managed Services at Blue Turtle. “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.”
By providing high-availability colocation services backed by regulatory compliance, low-latency connectivity, and disaster recovery capabilities, the partnership is expected to support enterprises in modernising their IT environments, enhancing security posture, and meeting evolving data sovereignty requirements under laws such as South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
“This agreement is about more than just filling racks; it’s about enabling digital transformation across the economy,” said 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.”
With commercial partners like Blue Turtle, Africa Data Centres continues to expand its footprint and impact across the continent, powering the next phase of enterprise transformation and solidifying South Africa’s status as a leading technology hub in Africa.
Africa Data Centres, which operates the continent’s largest interconnected, vendor- and cloud-neutral data centre platform, will benefit from Blue Turtle’s strong go-to-market capabilities and proven track record in delivering IT solutions to South Africa’s enterprise sector.

Harari women are the hottest ones in africa. long live harar!!
Harar women are sexy no doubt. I think Somali women going to feel threatened by their presence.
It is really good to see this kinda of connection between this two nations. I think this is a good start to create peace between people of the horn Africa.
GOD BLESS OUR PEOPLE.
i attended world refugee day in hargeisa and it was NOT at the ethiopian center, but the social welfare center, so whoever wrote this (it was also in somaliland times) clearly did not attend, and just ripped off someone else's picture.
“….these two nations”.
Amazing, what is your definition of a nation?. Have you ever looked the word nation from a dictionary?.
A few bitter and angery thousands of people do not constitute a nation, call yourself Somaliland or whatever but be knowledgeable of what you intend to say.
It also shows how Ethiopians under TPLF are desperate enough to reside in Hargheisa whose own people are found in every corner of the world seeking refuge for themselves.
Let us hope for better days and leaders for the unfortunate people of the Horn of Africa.
Ali, the only one who is bitter and angry appears to be you!..and it is Hargeisa or Hargeysa, not Hargheisa, be knowledgeable of what you intend to say.
And for your personal education, Somaliland is a nation.
Kariye,
I honestly don’t mind if would educate me on anything you know better than me.
As for your town’s spelling, I can produce more than a dozen of official bodies spelling the way I did.
I would be interested ,though, in knowing how you define a nation and relate that to your so called “Somaliland nation”.
And I hope your definition would fit the internationally accepted norm of nationhood instead of wild desire and hallucinations by some nation wannabes.
