Liquid Intelligent Technologies has recently launched the inaugural Microsoft Azure Stack in Uganda, delivering a cutting-edge hybrid cloud solution that seamlessly integrates public Azure intelligence, security, and scalability with Liquid Intelligent Technologies’ managed infrastructure.

This strategic investment in the first Azure Stack hub in Uganda underlines Liquid’s unwavering commitment to the country’s digital transformation and demonstrates active support for the Uganda Digital Transformation Roadmap, which strives to connect 90% of Ugandan households to the internet by 2040.

Michael Mukasa, CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Uganda, is highly optimistic about the impact of the Azure Stack hub on local businesses.

He emphasised that the hub will offer cost-effective access to local cloud solutions, assist businesses in meeting local data regulatory requirements, and enable the efficient operation of latency-sensitive business applications.

The deployment of Microsoft Azure Stack in Uganda is set to provide Liquid’s existing clients with a highly secure cloud solution, greatly reduce latency, and enable real-time business continuity through adaptable adoption models.

This move also demonstrates Liquid’s expertise in collaborating with businesses of all sizes to drive digital transformation, with Microsoft Azure Stack already deployed in five African countries.

Microsoft Azure continues to evolve as a comprehensive suite of cloud services that enable organisations to achieve their business objectives.

The suite encompasses cloud services ranging from intelligent collaboration to predictive analytics, empowering developers to create new and innovative apps, enabling customers to transform their businesses, and helping governments better meet the needs of their citizens.

The introduction of Microsoft Azure in Africa presents various advantages for businesses, satisfying core business requirements such as low Microsoft bandwidth costs, elevated user experience, rapid deployment of new digital business capabilities, reduced risk in business innovation, and enhanced scale and reach.

Microsoft Azure also offers three core offerings, including infrastructure, backup, and Active Directory, tailored to meet specific business needs.

Azure Stack, as Microsoft’s modern hybrid cloud solution, seamlessly combines public Azure intelligence, security, and scalability with Liquid Intelligent Technologies’ managed infrastructure, enabling businesses to consume Azure services from a Liquid Intelligent Technologies data centre.
