I was fortunate enough to be invited to have a tour of RSAWeb’s data centre in Cape Town this morning. RSAWeb are a hosting company focused on dedicated servers and all forms of web hosting.
Rob Gilmour, RSAWeb MD, chatted to us about their humble beginnings of 2 servers sitting in a bookcase rack, to the now 3 state of the art data centre’s they run.
We were taken on a tour of the data centre in sets of 5 people, and in my group we had a hosting competitor coming to see what the RSAWeb were up to. Some industrial espionage maybe?
I also have a RSAWeb t-shirt to give away, so drop a comment below and I’ll draw a winner first thing tomorrow morning.
More pics after the jump or over on my Flickr photostream.
Remember, leave a comment and win a RSAWeb t-shirt!





Looks cool J. Nice to see how SA companies grow from small humble beginings to nice big ones with big data centres
Yeah, we got to see some of those first servers – they stacked up on top of one another and still running! Only used for internal mail servers and the likes, so nothing hectic.
Looks super cool, well done to the guys from RSAWeb.
Entrepreneurs in the true sense of word, great to some South African movers and shakers.
PS: Girls size medium
yep was cool to have a look around, shot for the free brekkie guys! very swish looking data centre right in the middle of town, can’t go wrong…
And congrats to Marc who won the RSAWeb t-shirt in the random out of 3 entries draw!
Well done Marc : >
