The first Google Cloud Interconnect provider in Africa was established last week by Liquid C2, a division of Liquid Intelligent Technologies. Through this partnership, Liquid C2 is able to provide its clients with direct, fast access to Google Cloud services, improving the security and functionality of their cloud-based applications.
Businesses can increase security and operational efficiency by reducing their need on public internet connections by utilizing Google Cloud Interconnect.
The cooperation seeks to promote digital transformation on the continent and provide customized cloud solutions to businesses throughout Africa.
“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,” Oswald Jumira, CEO of Liquid C2.
“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.”
In line with this sentiment, Abdul Rahman Al Thehaiban, MD of Google Cloud for Turkey, the Middle East, and Africa, emphasized the potential of this partnership to promote digital inclusion and economic prosperity throughout Africa. “Google Interconnect has the potential to revolutionise how businesses operate, and Liquid C2 is providing access to these opportunities.” With this new development, Liquid C2 is able to further strengthen its position as a leading provider of cloud and security solutions in Africa, building upon its previous relationships with Google Cloud.
