African technology business Liquid Intelligent Technologies has announced the official launch of the first Microsoft Azure Stack in Uganda.
This achievement, the company claims, is a significant milestone for Liquid Uganda as it can now enable local businesses to access cloud solutions that meet local data regulatory requirements.
This investment, says Liquid, actively supports the Uganda Digital Transformation Roadmap. This roadmap aims to connect 90% of Ugandan households to the internet by 2040, a goal that Liquid says it is dedicated to helping achieve.
The company says that the Azure stack will not only benefit large enterprises but also accelerate cloud adoption among Uganda’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through flexible adoption models.
According to Michael Mukasa, CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Uganda: “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."
Liquid says it 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 in which Liquid has deployed Microsoft Azure Stack in Africa.
