NAPAfrica, South Africa’s first, free and public peering facility, a part of vendor neutral data centre provider Teraco Data Environments has welcomed major partner MWEB. MWEB is the network provider for many content providers in South Africa.  

Lex van Wyk, managing director at Teraco says that from an initial exchange of 64Mbps, NAPAfrica is now reaching volumes over 300Mbps, which equates to a massive 368% increase. “With partners as substantial as MWEB joining the fold, I imagine growth over the next few months will match if not surpass the growth we have seen since launch.” In the month since launch, NAPAfrica has effectively saved Teraco clients a combined R200, 000 on their bandwidth usage.
