    Microsoft unveils plan to construct a new data centre in South Africa

    Microsoft has revealed its plan to establish a data centre campus in Kosmosdal, Centurion to enhance its cloud infrastructure in South Africa. The goal is to satisfy the increasing demand for cloud and AI services and solutions among public sector and private organisations in Africa.

    The company is committed to working sustainably with the municipality, local organizations, and the residents of Kosmosdal as they develop their data centre.

    Microsoft, which was the second “hyperscaler” to officially introduce cloud computing services in South Africa, has faced several delays to the launch of its local Azure nodes, leading to Huawei launching their services a day earlier.

    The company officially launched its South African data centres in Johannesburg and Cape Town in March 2019 and introduced Azure Availability Zones in its South Africa North region in October 2021.

    With a 30-year history in South Africa, Microsoft set out its commitment to fast-tracking technology transformation and digital enablement in the country through investments in infrastructure, innovation, skills, and enterprise development. The planned data centre campus represents another step in Microsoft’s commitment to promoting digital transformation in South Africa and Africa in a trusted and responsible way.
