OADC Umhlanga, also known as the DUR2 Data Center, is an enterprise colocation and interconnection facility located at 3 Sugar Close in Umhlanga Ridge, Durban, South Africa. Originally developed as an Internet Solutions and NTT Data facility, the site was subsequently integrated into Open Access Data Centres (OADC), a subsidiary of WIOCC Group, expanding the company’s open-access data center footprint across South Africa. The facility’s location in Umhlanga Ridge places it within a major commercial and technology precinct serving businesses across Durban and the wider KwaZulu-Natal region. Its role as a colocation and interconnection site makes it relevant to enterprises, network providers, and digital service operators requiring infrastructure to host equipment and exchange data. OADC’s open-access model is designed to support connectivity between multiple service providers and customers, helping create a more flexible environment for businesses seeking network access and digital infrastructure services. The Durban location also provides a regional base for organizations operating along KwaZulu-Natal’s important commercial, industrial, and logistics corridor. As demand for cloud services, enterprise connectivity, and locally accessible digital infrastructure grows, facilities such as DUR2 contribute to the regional data center ecosystem. Its integration into OADC’s portfolio connects the site to a broader South African platform focused on open-access infrastructure and interconnection. However, specific technical details—including IT capacity, data hall area, power configuration, cooling systems, available carriers, and current service offerings—have not been provided in the supplied information. These details should be verified through official OADC or WIOCC documentation before being published as confirmed facility specifications.
