Paratus Group is a pan-African telecommunications operator that builds and runs its own Tier III-by-design data centers, colocation space, satellite teleports, and fiber/microwave networks across Southern Africa. As of 2025 the group owns and operates five data centers across three countries — two in Luanda, Angola, one in Lusaka, Zambia, and two in Namibia (Windhoek and Swakopmund) — with a sixth, larger Tier IV-by-design facility announced for Luanda in 2023. Its data centers sell colocation (cages, cabinets, and multi-tenant suites) plus locally hosted cloud services, and all five existing facilities carry ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, and PCI-DSS certification, which the company describes as unmatched on the continent. Paratus differentiates itself through direct control of its own subsea and terrestrial fiber network (including a direct link to the Equiano cable at its Swakopmund landing station) tied to its colocation footprint, letting it offer carrier-neutral connectivity alongside physical hosting in markets — Angola, Zambia, Namibia — where few other carrier-neutral, internationally certified facilities exist.
Paratus Group operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
