MAINONE CHOOSES MINKELS
TO ENHANCE POSITION IN WEST
AFRICAN DATA CENTRE MARKET
Minkels has been chosen as data centre supplier for
West African connectivity and data centre solutions
company, MainOne, who blazed a trail in Africa with
its undersea fibre optic cable, connecting West Africa
to Europe and the construction of West Africa’s
largest commercial Tier 3+ data centre, MDXi.
MainOne conducted a global search for a more
flexible Cold Aisle Containment System (CAC) to
accommodate the various needs of their global
customers with racks of varying widths and heights.
After considering manufacturing from China, a global
evaluation followed.
All top industry players, custom CAC vendors and
local manufacturers were evaluated to provide racks,
Cold Aisle Containment, PDUs and accessories for
customers. Minkels met the requirement to provide a
Cold Aisle Containment solution: Flexible concerning
rack width and height, able to accommodate a free
standing 47U solution, and lend itself to caging.
Given the success of this first-of-its-kind custom
CAC deployment, Minkels are partaking in early
discussions to explore the possibility to partner in
the further deployment of Minkels solutions across
MainOne’s MDXi data centres.
