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.
