Officials said the state-of-the-art Digital Delta Data Centre (DDDC) offers an impressive 99.9% system availability throughout the year, a development expected to greatly enhance the accessibility and consistency of essential government services. Additionally, by reducing downtime and improving system resilience, the migration positions the public sector to better meet the growing digital demands of citizens and businesses. Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNeT) CEO, Dr Geoffrey Seleka, highlighted the broader impact of the migration, noting that it is expected to significantly improve service delivery across the country. He explained that those government services will benefit from more reliable and efficient access to government services, while public institutions will experience enhanced operational performance.
“Improved system performance is also anticipated to enhance operational efficiency across government institutions, while supporting more effective revenue collection mechanisms,” explained Seleka. The DDDC provides a comprehensive suite of services, including secure data storage, web hosting, and internet exchange capabilities. It also supports the operation of essential government functions and complex digital applications such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing. These capabilities place Botswana on a stronger footing in the evolving digital economy. Seleka further encouraged State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), parastatals, and private sector organisations to consider migrating their systems to the DDDC.
