Liquid C2, a division of Liquid Intelligent Technologies and a prominent pan-African technology group, has become the first Google Cloud Interconnect provider in Africa
This strategic collaboration with Google Cloud, a leading global hyperscaler, greatly enhances the cloud solutions that Liquid C2 provides to its customers across the continent through its Cloud Connect portfolio.
Cloud Interconnect allows organisations to extend their external networks directly to the Google Cloud network via a private, high-availability, low-latency connection. As a Google Cloud Interconnect provider, Liquid C2 can now offer its customers direct access to Google Cloud services. This enables African companies to leverage the full benefits of the Cloud.
The direct connection's increased speed and higher bandwidth significantly improve the performance of cloud-based applications. By utilising this service, Liquid C2 customers will reduce their dependence on the public internet, thereby enhancing security and overall business performance.
“Being the first Google Cloud Interconnect provider on the continent is a significant milestone on our journey to becoming the leading provider of cloud solutions in Africa. By partnering with Google Cloud, we can leverage the strengths of both organisations to offer solutions that address the needs of the African market. Direct access to the Google Cloud network will bring about the enhanced security and operating efficiencies that our customers in wholesale, enterprise, and government are seeking,” said Oswald Jumira, CEO of Liquid C2.
Liquid C2’s partnership with Google Cloud aligns perfectly with its vision of a digitally enabled Africa where no African is left behind. It also reflects Liquid C2’s commitment to empowering businesses on the continent with tailored solutions to meet their unique technological needs.
This partnership builds on Liquid C2’s existing collaborations with Google Cloud to provide AI-driven cloud and security solutions to customers across Africa, further enhancing its position as a trusted Managed Service Provider.
