New Facility in Accra to Enhance Regional Connectivity, Supporting Ghana’s Growing Digital Economy
DALLAS, Texas – October 31, 2025 – Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the world’s largest provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, has announced the launch of its first data center in Ghana, marking a major milestone in the company’s expansion across Africa through its global data center platform, PlatformDIGITAL®.
Located in the heart of Accra, the new facility, known as ACR2, is set to become a critical hub in Ghana’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. It will connect the country to global markets and empower businesses with advanced, highly connected infrastructure. Strategically positioned amidst a dense network of fiber routes and subsea cables, including direct access to the 2Africa cable system, ACR2 will deliver carrier-neutral colocation services with an expected 1.7MW of installed IT capacity.
This combination of strategic location and strong connectivity positions ACR2 as a key gateway to the global digital economy, offering a robust foundation for enhanced interconnection and supporting the evolving needs of enterprises, financial institutions, telcos, and public sector organizations.
“Enterprises no longer have to choose between compliance and performance; ACR2 delivers both, right here in Accra,” said Joseph Koranteng, Managing Director of Digital Realty Ghana.
ACR2 is designed to meet data sovereignty requirements, offering trusted and compliant hosting for critical financial and digital services. Beyond compliance, the facility aims to strengthen Ghana’s digital infrastructure, drive innovation, attract investment, and promote inclusion across key sectors.
“From banking to fintech to telcos, our goal is simple: keep data secure locally, while keeping businesses globally connected,” added Koranteng. “ACR2 provides the reliability, compliance, and connectivity that banks, fintechs, telcos, and cloud providers need. It’s not only about data sovereignty – it’s about giving enterprises in Ghana the same infrastructure quality they’d find in London, Amsterdam, or Johannesburg, without leaving Accra.”
With ACR2, Digital Realty reaffirms its commitment to supporting Africa’s digital future — one that is locally hosted yet globally connected. The new facility underscores the company’s broader vision to expand access to the global digital economy, support local enterprise ecosystems, and enable the next generation of innovation across West Africa.
