With Epsilon’s DCI solution, BCX can connect between its presence at Johannesburg and data centres in Europe, a key market outside of Africa. On top of this, BCX has access to Epsilon’s extensive network fabric of 220+ data centres and an ecosystem of cloud providers, internet exchanges and other networks globally.
