Telecom Egypt has partnered with Microsoft to extend the latter’s cloud network in the country.

The telecom firm said it will provide low-latency connectivity into and across Egypt to help enhance performance and increase reliability for customers of Microsoft services.

The partnership will increase Microsoft’s reach to the large Egyptian market in addition to improving its connectivity across that region of the continent.

“Through our collaboration with Telecom Egypt we are extending Microsoft’s global network in Egypt and improving connectivity across north Africa and the Middle East,” said Yousef Khalidi, Microsoft corporate vice president for Azure Networking.
