Africa Data Centres' Midrand facility, part of Liquid Intelligent Technologies' pan-African data centre network, offers 8 data halls across 9,000 m² of white space in Johannesburg's Midrand district. The operator is expanding the site with four additional data halls totalling 6,000 m² of white space, which it says will add 10 MW of capacity and bring client IT load to 20 MW once complete; Africa Data Centres describes the expanded facility as "built to a Tier-4 standard," a design claim rather than a formal Uptime Institute certification. The site carries ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications alongside PCI DSS compliance, with hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment and high-sensitivity smoke detection. JHB1 anchors Africa Data Centres' South African footprint alongside its Samrand (JHB2) and Cape Town (CPT1) facilities, and connects into the operator's continent-wide interconnection platform.
