IS Parklands, Johannesburg, South Africa

Colo-X analysis

IS Parklands is probably the most important interconnection facility in South Africa as it is home to the Johannesburg Internet Exchange point (JINX). As such, we view it as one of the key global connectivity hubs on the continent. IS Parklands is therefore of strong interest to network operators, voice carriers and ISPs looking to interconnect with other parties and exchange traffic.

Because of its age, it does not suit high power density requirements, but the 1.5kW per footprint available in the newly refurbished rooms seems manageable for most network-based requirements. Indeed, in some areas slightly higher-power cabinets can be sourced, and up to 16Amps/3.5kW is possible. Space is currently fairly limited but expansion plans are underway.
