Congo Data Interconnection Data Center
Once operational, the three-story data centre will eliminate the need for foreign server reliance and host critical government and private sector data, advancing the country's ambitions in e-governance, cybersecurity, and digital self-reliance. Launched in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB), the state-of-the-art facility is strategically located in Brazzaville's second arrondissement. DRC is set to unveil its first National Data Center by November 2025, marking a major milestone in the country's digital transformation. The African Development Bank (BAD) confirms full funding for Congo's national data center, projected to be operational by May 2026. The project, valued at approximately €66. 55 million, is primarily financed by BAD with €52. 8m) from the government of the Republic of Congo.

Intelligent QSFP-DD Optical Module for Data Center Interconnection
QSFP-DD is a new module and cage/connector system similar to current QSFP, but with an additional row of contacts providing for an eight lane electrical interface. It is being developed by the QSFP-DD MSA as a key part of the industry's effort to enable high-speed solutions. This guide explores key technical features for GPU clusters, examines spine-leaf architectures for distributed AI applications, and evaluates whether QSFP-DD or OSFP is better suited for future AI data centers. Planning AI cluster networking? Explore our QSFP-DD transceiver solutions for high-speed. Cisco QSFP-DD and OSFP 800G ZR/ZR+ digital coherent optics modules enable 800G traffic over amplified Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) links up to 120 km for 800ZR and over 1000 km for 800G ZR+. Customers can upgrade their box in advance of new cables. QSFP DD, short for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density, is a high-density optical transceiver form factor designed for high-speed networking applications. The QSFP-DD specification, maintained by the QSFP-DD.
