Africa is the last continent in which data center growth is still ahead of us. The question is not whether this industry will develop there massively in Africa but when and in which order. This white paper was produced under the aegis of the ADCA (Africa Data centres Association) and aims to present, after the first 2020 survey, an second output of the Datacenter Energy Performance and Climate impact from the African industry.
Apart from the intrinsic technical results it provides, this White Paper is also the opportunity to demonstrate to the outside world that the African continent is contrastive, when it comes to analysis of the industry from the economic point of view, the cultural point of view, and also the… climate point of view.
