Teraco, Africa\u2019s largest and most interconnected data centre operator, has become an integral node to the Meltingpot Indianoceanic Submarine System (M\u00c9TISS)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n M\u00c9TISS is a 3,200 km subsea fibre optic cable system connecting South Africa to the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius. The M\u00c9TISS consortium comprises Canal+ T\u00e9l\u00e9com, CEB Fibernet, Emtel, Zeop and SRR (SFR) Telma. The M\u00c9TISS cable lands in Amanzimtoti and is backhauled by Liquid Telecoms to Teraco\u2019s data centre in Durban (DB1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n With M\u00c9TISS consortium members having infrastructure in both the Teraco Durban (DB1)<\/a> and Johannesburg (JB1)<\/a>data centre facilities, the Indian Ocean Islands have direct access to Teraco\u2019s ecosystem of over 300 networks, 130 IT service providers, 50 global content providers, and the key global cloud providers says Michele McCann, Head of Interconnection and Peering at Teraco. The availability of a new cable servicing the Indian Ocean Islands region widens the addressable market for content and cloud providers in South Africa. It adds new resilience to the existing telecommunications infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M\u00c9TISS provides global telecoms organisations, multinationals and enterprises with interests in the region with the reliable services and capacities to empower their digital strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Situated on Durban\u2019s north coast, Teraco DB1 is a strategic interconnection hub on the African subsea cable map with access to M\u00c9TISS and the cable systems of Seacom and EASSy that are already accessible from the facility. Teraco\u2019s DB1 facility is connected to the JB1 Campus in Isando, Johannesburg through a wide choice of carriers, via diverse regional fibre routes. It will allow clients to increase the number of partners they connect with and expand their reach into new markets. Teraco\u2019s DB1 facility offers clients secure colocation and interconnection services, as well as the ability to leverage Teraco\u2019s digital hubs in DB1 and JB1 directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe cable brings connectivity across regions that were previously hard to reach. Through Teraco, access to this cable is an interconnect away and in keeping with our tagline, \u2018the world connects here\u2019, we are very proud to play such a pivotal role in the success of this cable system,\u201d says McCann. Peering<\/a> at Africa\u2019s largest Internet exchange, NAPAfrica<\/a>, is now also possible for the island region and brings many benefits: reduced latency; network fault tolerance; reliable exchange of traffic; increased routing control; and improved network performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interconnection and peering successfully addresses a growing need for more bandwidth but at the lowest possible latency. This also needs to be done cost-effectively. The M\u00c9TISS cable system will enable further interconnection within the Indian Ocean Islands region and the growth of its digital economy. Teraco makes it easy and accessible for everyone to connect within the data centre and immediately benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teraco, Africa\u2019s largest and most interconnected data centre operator, has become an integral node to the Meltingpot Indianoceanic Submarine System (M\u00c9TISS) M\u00c9TISS is a 3,200 km subsea fibre optic cable system connecting South Africa to the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius.
