The South African technology company Business Connection (BCX) has partnered with Epsilon, a global connectivity and communications service provider, to provide its African customers with high-performance data center interconnection (DCI) services.

BCX will use Epsilon's Infiny platform to seamlessly connect its customers in Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, and Tanzania to data centers around the world. Mervyn Goliath, Managing Executive, Data Networks at BCX, said: “deploying Infiny gives our customers immediate access to data centers located in key technology and business hubs around the world.”

“Our customers can connect and grow their global presence with on-demand network infrastructure. Infiny has given us the agility in serving our customers’ needs while offering new levels of resilience in our network that has a direct impact on our enterprise customers’ services,” he added.

BCX has access to Epsilon's network of more than 220 data centers, an ecosystem of cloud service providers, Internet exchange points, and other networks around the world. Michel Robert, Epsilon's CEO, believes that the expertise provided to BCX is an opportunity to support its growth by enabling it to meet the new and growing demand for global connectivity across Africa.
