Africa Data Centres, a division of the Cassava Technologies group, has announced the launch of its exclusive channel partner programme, ADC Channel.

Partners enrolled in ADC Channel will benefit from a flexible approach that accommodates various partnership and go-to-market (GTM) models.
Finhai Munzara, CFO of Africa Data Centres, emphasises that the benefits of the ADC Channel programme extend to all types of partners.
“Our facilities are designed with the needs of hyper-scale, wholesale & enterprise clients in mind, catering to their technical, operational and commercial requirements. Whether it’s greenfield projects, built-to-suit facilities, powered shells, dedicated halls, or hybrid colocation, we offer flexible, scalable and sustainable solutions that suit partners of every kind,” Munzara said.
He elaborates on the advantages of becoming an Africa Data Centres Partner.
Firstly, clients gain an additional product offering & footprint to augment their existing portfolio, enabling them to offer bundled solutions.
This not only enhances their current revenue streams but also positions them for further growth & retention with both existing and future customers.
Africa Data Centres has also developed ADC Marketplace, a pioneering platform designed to empower partners and customers across the continent.
This innovative marketplace provides a dynamic space for partners to showcase their services and for customers to explore offerings, fostering collaboration and visibility within the African tech community.
Offering unmatched connectivity and growth opportunities, the ADC Marketplace stands as the ultimate platform for African enterprise organisations and tech companies seeking to thrive in today’s digital landscape.
Partners stand to benefit from reduced churn, as colocation is inherently a ‘sticky’ product with minimal price erosion.
By offering best-of-breed colocation services from Africa’s leading data centre provider, partners can differentiate themselves from competitors.
Partners will also enjoy seamless access to data centre experts, continuous commercial and technical support, and regular, complimentary training for their sales and product teams.
Furthermore, partners face no financial risk, as participation in the channel programme requires no investment and entails no capital expenditures for building data centres.
Partners can also leverage flexibility in setting their selling prices and receive significant upfront discounts, further bolstering their competitive advantage.
