CTMEA has established its network nodes in Teraco’s data centres in [Cape Town](https://www.teraco.co.za/data-centre-locations/cape-town/), [Durban](https://www.teraco.co.za/data-centre-locations/durban/) and [Johannesburg](https://www.teraco.co.za/data-centre-locations/johannesburg/) since 2012, which provide the inter-connecting hub linking the global internet resources into the African continent. Teraco’s advanced data centre services will be bundled with CTG’s information communication technology (ICT) solutions which will cater to the increasing demands from the world going into Africa, especially expansion from Asia Pacific IT Companies into Africa. Teraco has Tier III+ data centres in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg with facilities for multi-national companies to co-locate their servers. The new cooperation allows multi-national companies to subscribe to Teraco’s co-location services bundled with CTG’s ICT and connectivity solutions. “Our customers in China and Asia-Pacific region will now find it even more convenient to subscribe to a reliable, trusted and high-quality co-location and connectivity services from Teraco and China Telecom Global,” said Changhai Liu, Managing Director of CTMEA. “Our co-operation immediately builds higher confidence among our customers, so they can focus on their business operations and leave their hosting, colocation and interconnection requirements to us. We have long been focusing on the Africa market and this closer co-operation with Teraco further enhances our competitiveness in the Middle East and Africa with a strong and like-minded partner in Southern Africa we can rely on.” ### About Teraco Teraco offers its clients vendor-neutral, resilient data centre facilities and the lowest latency [interconnection points](https://www.teraco.co.za/platform-teraco/africa-interconnection/) to cloud and content.
