Paratus Data Centre commissioned

Paratus Telecom on Monday commissioned the Armada Data Centre built at a cost of N$123 million funded through listed bonds on the Namibian Stock Exchange in which the Government Institutions Pension Fund participated. 

The centre which is located at Brakwater Industrial Park, will serve as a Cloud Storage Hub, hosting a total of 240 cabinets, of which a single one can accommodate 42 servers.

This is the fourth data centre to be built by Paratus, with two already in Angola, and one in Zambia.

 "This new center will help meet market demand and give Namibians and international businesses an opportunity to participate in the 4IR" said Paratus CEO Schalk Erasmus.

ICT minister, Dr Peya Mushelenga said, “ICT has become a fundamental part of how we interact, communicate, conduct business, or manage our affairs. It will play a major role in realising our Vision for Namibia, one of being a prosperous and industrialised nation developed by her human resources, enjoying peace, harmony, and political stability. Through reliable infrastructure, like the Armada Data Center and the Google Equiano Cable landing station, it is evident that Paratus is stepping up to the obligations set by the government.”
