Overview

Virtual Roundtable Overview

As enterprise infrastructure strategy becomes more dependent on AI readiness, regional resilience, and regulatory control, technology leaders are being forced to rethink where critical workloads live and how reliably those environments can scale.

In South Africa and across the broader Sub-Saharan market, that challenge is especially acute as organizations navigate power constraints, latency demands, sustainability expectations, and increasing pressure to keep data in-region.

What We'll Explore

This session will focus on the strategic and operational considerations shaping infrastructure decisions for enterprises operating in South Africa and across the African continent.

Data Center Market

The current state of the South African data center market, including power volatility, expansion pressure, and hyperscale self-build dynamics

Enterprise Workloads

Why enterprise workloads increasingly require a different infrastructure model than hyperscale-led deployments

Carrier-Neutral Connectivity

The role of carrier-neutral connectivity, latency reduction, and in-region hosting for African enterprises and multinationals expanding into Africa

Sustainability & ESG

Sustainability considerations, including PUE performance, near-zero WUE, and the growing importance of ESG-aligned infrastructure decisions

Strategic Partnership

How NTT's 40-year local market presence and full OSI-stack capability shift the conversation from landlord-style colocation to strategic partnership

Secured Power Capacity

Why available secured power capacity and future expansion roadmap should matter now for infrastructure and sourcing leaders evaluating the region

Context

Why This Conversation Matters Now

For many organizations, Africa is no longer a peripheral infrastructure question. It is a live operating environment for cloud growth, digital services delivery, financial platforms, industrial operations, and multinational expansion.

Yet the decision criteria for infrastructure in the region have become more demanding. Leaders are being asked to reconcile resilience, cost control, sustainability, compliance, and speed to market at the same time.
