This strategic collaboration with the global technology giant, Google Cloud, significantly amplifies the cloud services that Liquid C2 delivers across Africa through its robust Cloud Connect portfolio.
The Cloud Interconnect allows organizations to extend their external networks directly to the Google Cloud network through a private, high-availability, and low-latency connection.

The enhanced speed and higher bandwidth of this direct connection markedly improve the performance of cloud-based applications. As a result, Liquid C2 customers can reduce their dependency on the public internet, leading to improved security and overall business performance.
Oswald Jumira, CEO of Liquid C2, highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, “Becoming the first Google Cloud Interconnect provider on the continent underscores our commitment to becoming the leading cloud solutions provider in Africa. Our partnership with Google Cloud allows us to combine our strengths and offer tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of the African market. Direct access to the Google Cloud network will bring about the enhanced security and operational efficiencies that our customers in wholesale, enterprise, and government sectors seek.”
Abdul Rahman Al Thehaiban, Managing Director for Turkey, Middle East, and Africa at Google Cloud, expressed pride in the collaboration, noting, “This partnership with Liquid C2 underscores the value of strategic alliances in fostering a more connected and digitally inclusive continent. It aligns with our mutual goal of providing access to technology that drives business growth. Google Interconnect has the potential to revolutionize business operations, and Liquid C2 is opening the door to these opportunities.”
Liquid C2’s partnership with Google Cloud aligns seamlessly with its vision of a digitally enabled Africa, ensuring that no African is left behind. This collaboration further demonstrates Liquid C2’s dedication to empowering African businesses with bespoke technological solutions.
