East Africa: Microsoft, Seacom Launch New Cloud Service Targeting SMEs in East Africa

Microsoft, in partnership with SEACOM, has launched a cloud service that will allow customers to extend their on-premises networks into the cloud without going over the public internet. The service, dubbed Azure ExpressRoute, enables customers to create private connections between datacentres and infrastructure on their premises or in a cloud environment.

"We are excited about the added value that this will bring to our customers - particularly over a secured and reliable connection provided through SEACOM", says Sebuh Haileleul, East Africa Country Manager at Microsoft. "We know that organisations are moving towards a space where they are dealing with a lot of data that requires secure movement. This service addresses these issues by providing a private, secure and high bandwidth connection to the cloud."
