ContinuitySA has expanded their existing data centre in Maputo, Mozambique. One of its mobile data centres has been installed as a permanent extension to the existing brick-and-mortar data centre. The mobile data unit is housed in an adapted container, and will double the company's existing capacity in Mozambique.
The company has used similar mobile data centres for several years as a way to help their clients recover from huge IT failures on site without the disruption and expense of moving large staff to the disaster recovery site. The mobile data centres are designed to fit onto a standard 14 metre trailer; so that they can be easily transported to a client site. The units have been specifically adapted to cope with tough African conditions, and include built-in cooling systems.
