Liquid Telecom brings cloud-optimised connectivity offering the benefits of low latency, high capacity and resiliency to businesses across Africa. With the availability of Microsoft’s Azure regions in South Africa, the customers are able to access a hybrid cloud solution residing within South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda.

The scale-out of the Microsoft cloud-based architecture offers customers across the African continent greater opportunities for agility, security, and compliance. It also offers increased efficiencies and improved performance for business and public sector organisations operating in Africa.

As a result of the availability of the new Azure cloud regions, SMEs, enterprises, public sector organisations and multinationals with a presence in Africa will have access to globally available services with local data residency and the benefits of low latency, high local capacity built upon Microsoft’s trusted cloud principles of security, privacy, compliance, transparency and reliability.

“We are delighted by the launch of Microsoft’s cloud regions in Africa, and by extending the reach of Microsoft Azure to an increasing number of countries and customers, Liquid Telecom is helping Africa realise its digital future,” said Nic Rudnick, Group CEO, Liquid Telecom. “We offer customers a single, unified solution for their Microsoft Azure strategy. This is underpinned by an unrivalled fibre network, strategically located data centres, a hybrid cloud architecture covering Azure and the Azure Stack and an ExpressRoute connection to maximise the benefits of the cloud. Together, Microsoft and Liquid Telecom are creating a modern business foundation for customers in Africa that inspires innovation, cloud-paced change, compliance and business growth.”

Liquid Telecom customers will benefit from the company’s progressive ecosystem of world-class data centres, connected via a pan-African fibre network approaching 70,000km, running from the Cape to Cairo. This will offer the Microsoft Azure Stack hybrid cloud in five countries in Africa. Liquid Telecom’s expert cloud enablement services together with a private, high-performance CloudConnect via Microsoft ExpressRoute, will also enable customers to accelerate their cloud deployment and achieve faster time to value.

“This availability of Microsoft Azure, delivered from cloud regions in South Africa, answers the call from customers across Africa for a truly modern and hybrid cloud,” said Dean Erasmus, Azure Business Lead for Africa, Microsoft. “It enables customers across the continent to simplify IT implementation and reap the benefits associated with cloud operating models, either hosted or delivered on-premise. Liquid Telecom is a trusted partner of Microsoft with the breadth of their fibre network, data centre infrastructure, market reach and expertise to enable customers to realise their business objectives more quickly and effectively.”

The Liquid Telecom ecosystem brings cloud services in Africa, offering customers a one-stop solution for cloud computing, connectivity, and professional services through Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack. Liquid Telecom’s network of data centres provides customers with scalable and secure cloud services. They also act as data solution centres across the continent for all private and secure hybrid cloud needs.
