Summary

Teraco's Durban locations page, in its version modified on 28 September 2026, says Teraco operates vendor-neutral colocation data centres in Durban and describes DB1 in Riverhorse Valley as a Durban data centre facility serving South Africa's colocation, interconnection, peering and data-centre infrastructure requirements, with an interconnected ecosystem of more than 3,000 cross-connects, 25+ network service providers, access to the Seacom, EASSy, METISS and 2Africa cable systems and connection to Teraco's Isando Campus over diverse regional fibre routes. This records DB1 as operating on 28 September 2026, the modification day of the captured version (bounded by the Internet Archive copy of 6 September 2026, which shows the same DB1 text in its 17 July 2026 version, and the live capture of 27 October 2026); it is not an opening date. The 1,500 sqm white space and IT load of 2 (MW, as in Teraco's 12 August 2025 release) are facility specifications, not load in service. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: -29.77854, 30.99184
Geometry licence: all-rights-reserved
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_source_reported_facility_reference_point
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: first_party_facility_page_map_pin_point
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Teraco's own page-map marker labelled 'Teraco DB1 Data Centre' on its Durban locations page, used to locate DB1 on Riverhorse Close, Riverhorse Valley. It is not a centroid, parcel, building outline or boundary; the page's printed GPS point lies 112 m to the south-east.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The page states no datum, reference feature or accuracy for either operator point; the two operator points differ by 112 m and the imagery check is qualitative, with unknown imagery date and accuracy.
Geometry evidence: 70034ec6

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
