TI Sparkle, the Telecom service provider based in Italy, has announced that it has moved its African IP hub into the Djibouti Data Center (DDC). Sparkle will use the facility as an IP hub for its expansion to East and South Africa.

The Djibouti Data Center is a Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center in East Africa with direct access to all major international and regional cable systems connecting the European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets with Africa. These cables include SEAMEWE 5, AAE-1, SEAMEWE 3, Eassy, SEACOM and EIG; other upcoming cables like DARE and PEACE are also expected to land in the Djibouti Data Center.
