Liquid Cloud, a business of Cassava Technologies, a pan-African technology group, and a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced it will offer connectivity to Oracle Cloud through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect in South Africa within the Oracle Cloud Johannesburg Region. The collaboration with Oracle will allow Liquid Cloud customers to access Oracle Cloud through FastConnect using Liquid’s extensive fibre network.
In addition to organisations using FastConnect via Liquid CloudConnect as a service, it will also be available at existing Africa Data Centre (ADC) facilities across the continent for Liquid Cloud’s co-located customers.

“Businesses in Africa have been digitally transforming their operations, and their expectations include a seamless experience irrespective of where applications and infrastructure operates. With Oracle FastConnect, Liquid will help its customers achieve simplicity, enterprise-class security and seamless operations, be it on-prem or co-located through the ADC facilities across the continent,” says David Behr, CEO of Liquid Cloud and Cyber Security. “We understand that in ever-changing and competitive markets, our clients need to be ahead of the game and have access to world-class products.”
