Liquid Intelligent Technologies has announced the official launch of the first Microsoft Azure Stack in Uganda.
Azure Stack is Microsoft’s modern hybrid cloud solution, combining public Azure intelligence, security and scalability with Liquid Intelligent Technologies managed infrastructure.
Liquid says in a statement the launch will now enable businesses in Uganda to access cloud solutions that meet the local data regulatory requirements.
By investing in the first Azure Stack hub in Uganda, Liquid said it is not only demonstrating its commitment to the country’s digital transformation but also actively supporting the Uganda Digital Transformation Roadmap. This roadmap aims to connect 90% of Ugandan households to the internet by 2040.
“The Azure Stack hub in the country will be a game-changer for local businesses. It will provide them with cost-effective access to local cloud solutions, help them meet local data regulatory requirements, and enable them to run latency-sensitive business applications efficiently.” Michael Mukasa, CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Uganda, says.
With this investment, Liquid will empower its existing customers with a highly secure cloud solution, reduce latency, and enable real-time business continuity with flexible adoption models.
“This is the fifth country that Liquid has deployed Microsoft Azure Stack in Africa, which is indicative of our expertise in partnering with businesses of all sizes to digitally transform. The Azure stack will not only benefit large enterprises but also accelerate cloud adoption among the Ugandan Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through flexible adoption models,” says Mukasa.
With the introduction of Azure Stack, Liquid says it continues to trailblaze its way in bringing innovative technology to foster economic and technological advancement in the country and the East Africa region.
