The firm’s focus in the region has been on the financial and telcos sectors to date, but that large enterprises across verticals can derive value from the solutions.

“We are seeing increasing demand from enterprises across Africa for solutions that enhance management of the data centre environment and allow enterprises to discover, analyse and realise more value from their data. The key issues for African data centres are much the same as they are globally – to drive down complexity, reduce cost and get more value from the stored data,” said Barendsen.
