Customised Solution

As our customer, you will quickly see that the road from proposal to implementation is short. In contrast to other providers, we do not have to ask for permission from a lot of people before we can launch a project.

This also means that we can always customise a data centre solution to your company. If you would rather focus on content and core services (bits and bytes) and avoid thinking about the outer framework such as power, cooling and emergency management, then you need to get hold of us.

Interconnect - Easy and Flexible

Via BOi Global Group's data centres, you obtain easy and flexible connection to both South African and international providers and telecom operators. This makes it possible to exchange traffic with a number of telecom operators in the South African market as well as some foreign players. Our agreements are flexible and generally characterised by a minimum of red tape and a high degree of transparency.

Server room or 1 rack - you decide

Free Cooling

Our data centres are linked to our nationwide fibre network. You will therefore gain access to one of South Africa’s fastest connections. Your data will literally move at the speed of light, and you will never be able to tell whether the server is in your own office or ours.

Data Centre Facilities

Server Hall, Server Room or Racks - You Decide

If you do not need an entire server hall, you can choose to have a number of racks in an existing server room. Your equipment will then be placed in private cages or together with other customers' IT equipment. All our customers will naturally have access to their own server equipment 24/7 in accordance with the agreed procedures.

As a Customer of BOi Global Group, you can Choose:

• ½ Rack
• 1 Rack
• Several Racks
• Cage / Cage solutions
• Server Room
• Server Halls
• Data Centre Cage
• Rackspace

Top-Secure Facilities

When it comes to security measures, we always apply the Tier classifications. This means that our data centres are equipped with the following:

• ½ Rack
• Redundant diesel generators that turn on in case of power failures
• Fire protection (smoke detection and Inergen / Argonite)
• Redundant cooling systems
• UPS-units that ensure stable power
• Access control (personal access cards, finger scanner, password)
• Video surveillance
• Fire protection with Argonite
• Data security

Data Security

It is our business to transmit and store your data. Therefore, it is also our primary focus in everything we do. We’re a supplier in the area of fibre, transmission and data centre solutions.

Security and Operational Reliability

Having taken on the responsibility of ensuring that a number of companies can maintain their operations because they have chosen to place their server facilities with us, we have also taken on the responsibility of ensuring operational reliability. That is why we have joined forces with the best in the field, who boast many years of experience in design, maintenance and operation of data centres.

That is why our data centres also meet the high international standards required under an ISAE 3402 approval.

Environment and 'Free' Cooling

At BOi Global Group, we have a number of issues that lie close to our heart and which we in our daily work have chosen to give special attention. More specifically, we focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and in our data centres, we are able to make a considerable difference in this area by focusing on cooling. Since 2012, we have therefore used "free cooling" in all our data centres.

Carrier-Neutral

Moreover, we are carrier-neutral, so you decide whether you want a network solution from us or will keep an existing agreement. Today, we have many different network providers in our data centres, allowing you to pick and choose. Obviously, we would be pleased to make you an offer.

"Free" Cooling

BOi Global Group Safeguards the Environment

Data centres use energy - quite a lot in fact. At BOi Global Group, we are aware of our impact on the environment, and we would like to reduce our daily C02 consumption.

That is why we have chosen to introduce "green cooling" in our data centres. Conventional cooling systems normally use large amounts of power. To avoid this, we chose to introduce free cooling systems in all our data centres in 2012.

Free cooling systems are intelligent cooling systems that, in contrast to conventional cooling systems, offer considerable operational savings. During the winter months, they are designed to take advantage of the outdoor temperature to cool the data centres, thus using a minimum of energy.

BOi Global Group Management Team

"Economies of scale allow for environmental measures that many companies do not have a chance to implement. We give our customers the opportunity of being part of a community with a clear conscience that focus on environment-friendly solutions not normally found in small data centres." BOi Global Group Management Team

Logical for the Environment!

It is simple logic, but, unfortunately, many cooling systems around the country still cool without using nature's own resources. This affects your bottom-line and not least the environment. In our view, this is almost absurd, which is why we have chosen to introduce free cooling systems.
