The certification grants Liquid C2 customers direct access to Google services, effectively bypassing the congestion and latency issues common on shared internet routes. By optimizing paths to Google Workspace, Google Cloud, and AI workloads, the provider aims to deliver consistent, high-speed connectivity. This verified infrastructure currently links key digital hubs in Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi, and London, ensuring geographically distributed network stability.

Chief Commercial Officer Vinay Hiralall emphasized that the status represents a critical advancement for Africa’s digital backbone, particularly as local enterprises migrate toward cloud-based operations. This milestone aligns with Liquid C2’s broader strategy to deepen ties with global technology giants, following the recent launch of a Google Cloud-powered Partner Experience Centre in Johannesburg. Through these investments in cloud services and cybersecurity, the firm intends to lower barriers for organizations seeking to integrate advanced digital tools into their regional operations.
