I suggest you look at the Teraco facilities, specifically the JB1 (Isando) site. It is extremely well connected and carrier-neutral so you can choose who you want to use. Depending on your requirement you might need to work through a reseller. I work for an SP in South Africa, so let me know offline if you need any help.

Hi Folks, I work for a Security Analytics org and we're looking to build a small POP in Africa. I am pretty clueless about the region so I was wondering if you could help guide me in the right direction for research? The challenges: 1. Network needs to be able to receive millions of small PPS (as opposed to serving smaller numbers of larger files). 2. Can't be cloud (need bare metal servers / colo). We use the full capacity of each server, all the time. 3. Must have good connectivity to most of the rest of Africa 4. We can initially only have one POP This is not like a normal website that we can just host on "any old provider", the requirements are very different. Is there a good location where we could either rent bare metal servers (something like Internap - preferred) or colocate servers within Africa that can serve most of the region? "Good" is defined as an area with stable connectivity and power, no legal restrictions on things like encryption, and good latency (sub 100ms) to the rest of Africa. Our two closest POPs are in Singapore and The Netherlands, so I'd like something closer to the middle that can serve the rest of Africa. Middle East will be deployed after Africa. I hope this is the right place to ask. Thanks! Ken
