Block F

This prime location, adjacent to 29° South in Dube City, is ideal for the construction of an IT Hub, BPO Park and Data Centre, facilities which would complement and enhance the proposed overall city activity mix.

Data Centre

By definition, a data centre is a computer/server facility; a location at which servers, networks and other computer equipment may be stored and managed in a controlled environment. The benefit of a data centre is that it offers regulated power (full back-up), a high bandwidth internet connection, physical and network security, constant monitoring and full technical support.

The positioning of a data centre in Dube City would have the undoubted benefit of attracting IT companies which may benefit from being located in the vicinity.

Innovation Hub

The development of an innovation hub in Dube City could create a unique space for a knowledge-intensive cluster and could fulfill a key role in nurturing commercial and technological innovation.
