Teraco Data Environments is the first provider of vendor neutral Data Centres in South Africa. Its customers benefit from cost savings and improved resilience of securely housing their information systems and networking equipment in a facility built and operated to best practice global standards by an expert organisation with absolute focus on Data Centre technology. Teraco operates a data centre in Newlands, Cape Town and one in Isando, Johannesburg, with a third opening in Durban in Q3 2011. The company is backed by leading international investors and black-owned South African private equity group, Treacle Private Equity.
Sentient has been working with Teraco since the company launched. This has required extensive publicity work to build the Teraco brand, as well as information campaigns to create understanding in the market of the vendor-neutral model, and how it is different from other offerings (especially where they adopt the language of vendor-neutrality). Sentient contributes towards internal and external marketing communications activities, with a primary focus on media relations.
