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.

He is wacky looking dude
But he's not a president tho… Hassan sheikh Mohamoud is the president of Somalia and Silaanyo is the president of somaliland, how can you be the president of a state?? Here in the U.S , call that governor. Lol
Because PL will one day break away from hell hole Zoomalia and its capital of Ugandishu.
If Puntland wants to be part of Federal Republic of Somalia, then it has to change the title of its ruler to Governor since one country can not have more than one President, even though Puntland has been trying so hard to measure itself with Somaliland.
You somalilanders has funny user names.
Sorry i meant have funny user names.
@Ku-rujiye Kama-kace,
I would prefer PL to breakaway from the rest of Somalia. Because it will take south Somalia decades to become peaceful, stable, and with a proper government that controls its own police and military force. So in order for PL to progress further then it must breakaway from Somalia or we'll be stuck with them forever and share with them their miseries. And no offence to you isaaqs but i believe PL can easily get recognition should PL declare independence. For one the Hawiye would welcome our decision because they see us as a threat to their hegemony. I know i do not speak for all of my people but i think this is the best option for Majerteen. We should have our own country so that we can be separate from the daily carnage and chaos of Ugandishu.
Ismail,
If thats the case then why are you "puntlanders" against somalilands independence??
I actually don't mind SL independence, I just wish my people would wake up and say goodbye to Ugandishu and its problems.
American boy ,
You sound like very deluted clueless Creature. here is the fact.
– Dr Faroole he is the president of PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA, he represent more then 2.8 million resident in Puntland. Puntland State was responsible creation of Somali Governement sit in Villa moryan.
– To honest Hassan Culusow he is not the president of Federal republic of Somalia because his orders can not even reach beyond Villa Moryan gates let alone whole of Somalia. since he came to office everyone is piling up weapons. so, this person he is history.
– Siilanyo he is not representing all northerners so in his case he is tribal chief not a regional president.
Faroole made a decision for the safety of his people and if that means no elections in 2013 then that is the price of peace and security.
Those who burnt the election ballot papers although appearing staged are responsible for the delays of the elections and as a consequence if the the people do not want multi party system then so be it.
It will take at least until July-2014 for a Puntland voter registration to be completed if the EU and UN are willing supply the funds. Even though a full population count may proof counter productive for puntland's aspiration of getting 50% of muuqdishu's Aid funds if it is revealed that puntland has 1/8 the population of Muuqdishu.
Puntland are on the right track genuine democracy does not come cheap. Puntland will have multi party system sooner or later.
Already EU and UN decided to sponsor next multi party election. if Puntland population is 1/8 how come Puntland live 2.7 million, do your math.
President Farole of Puntland was given a numerous warnings by prominent figures not to hold elections at this time, apparently he gave them deaf ears and now that's the consequences.
Faroole the finger man, I am not worried about puntaland those mofos would eat their own children for a dollar.
@NLander,
Who's eating who?
Isn't the Monster eating Somalia Today led by (Godane) your own kin?
And didn't he send assassins to take out his our fellow clansman terrorist ( Al Afghani) ?
Keep making ridiculous comments because i enjoy rebutting them.
Sorry, i meant his own fellow clansman.
The real reason Faroole is cancelling the election is because the galourious SL Army chased their stupid ballot boxes out of SL territory. Puntland fools are under the impression they have claim to SL territory so holding local government election will result in the reality that they have no power to challenge SL.
Even Somaliland region election is not genuine always stealing ballot boxes like last time disputed election.
President Faroole cancelled election because Puntland election should clean not same as Somaliland region.
