Open Access Data Centres (OADC), an African data centre company, has officially announced the acquisition of seven NTT data centres across South Africa.
The deal, which concluded on 31 December 2025 (following approval by the Competition Commission), will expand OADC’s national data centre footprint by adding seven facilities and increasing total capacity to more than 25 megawatts.
With a presence in South Africa, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), OADC is now one of the largest data centre operators on the African continent.
By adding these new facilities, OADC reinforces its ‘core-to-edge’ proposition and says it is positioned to meet the growing demand for digital services across Southern Africa.
Building a digital ecosystem
Ayotunde Coker, CEO of OADC, comments, “This acquisition represents a significant step forward in expanding our ability to deliver scalable, resilient colocation solutions where they are needed. It strengthens our market value proposition, positioning OADC as a critical partner in growing Africa’s digital economy.
“We can provide clients with a wider range of comprehensive resilience solutions, delivering geographically separated primary and disaster recovery data centre infrastructure for their businesses.”
OADC says its acquisition of these seven data centres underscores its “long-term vision to enable Africa’s digital ecosystem, drive economic growth, enrich society, and reinforce [its] role as a pivotal enabler of digital connectivity and technological advancement across the continent.”
Ayotunde continues, “Looking ahead beyond the immediate expansion of our operational presence, OADC plans on enhancing all of its data centres as part of its continuous facility enhancement process, bringing the introduction of advanced operational measures to ensure peak efficiency and reliability.”
