Cassava Technologies' Africa Data Centres has been designated a Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute Metro peering location in Johannesburg, the first in Africa, enabling redundant private cloud connectivity to Azure with integrated cyber security through its Liquid C2 service.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure and Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you're selling enterprise software or SaaS into South Africa, your customers can now route mission-critical workloads through local resilient infrastructure instead of shipping data through international pipes. That changes which sales conversations you win and which you lose.
