BCX and Alibaba Group have launched the Africa Local Public (ALP) Cloud service, which is available from two Johannesburg-based data centres. The service provides public cloud services such as databases, networking, security, analytics, application services and big data to drive digitalisation across the continent. The collaboration seeks to create significant benefits for African organisations, with low latency and high efficiency. BCX CEO Jonas Bogoshi noted that the launch of ALP Cloud serves multiple purposes, including maintaining a local presence and providing customers with direct connection and support from a South African company.
