Oni-Tel launches fibre network to connect data centres in Gauteng
Fibreoptic cable infrastructure company Oni-Tel Fibre Networks has launched its inter-data centre fibre network.
The high-speed fibre backbone connects all major data centres across Gauteng, which enables seamless, low-latency connectivity between facilities and unlocks new possibilities for enterprise and cloud infrastructure, the company says.
This will enable it to introduce new infrastructure access models through a purpose-built network engineered for data centre interconnectivity and external connections, including carrier points of presence (PoPs), carrier hotels and campus cross-connects.
“We are focused on resilient architectures, future-proof infrastructure and intelligent monitoring platforms that transform how we manage and secure critical assets. We see a growing technical need for stability, scalability and speed, and that is why we are investing in robust infrastructure,” says Oni-Tel CEO André Pillay.
To date, Oni-Tel has laid over 70 km of fibre, which has been purpose-built for high speed and low latency, and stands ready for future demands of digital connectivity. Its core network is pre-provisioned to enable time-critical requirements to be met seamlessly and on schedule, he adds.
“Our focus is on delivering cost-effective solutions that provide a strong alternative to traditional backhaul providers.
“Our network is new, clean and purpose-built. We do not have legacy issues, and the fresh start gives us agility. We use smart-sensing technologies and proactive monitoring to prevent issues before they arise,” Pillay says.
Data centre company Digital Parks Africa serves as the inaugural PoP for Oni-Tel's inter-data centre fibre network.
