SDC-2 customers will be connected to SD-1, which is used as a point of presence by tier one providers such a global telecom operators manging international and intercontinental traffic.

Neterra said its customers "will use all the benefits of the already established business and telecommunications infrastructure - connectivity with all existing customers of Neterra and access to high-speed, secure and redundant international networks and routes".

In line with its plans to be carbon neutral by the end of this year, the independent telco has built this facility with the environment in mind. It boasts "the latest generation of energy-efficient air conditioning systems", helping to reduce costs thanks to the lower price of electricity in the data centre.
