Console Connect has expanded its cloud ecosystem with four additional Google Cloud locations, bringing our total to 69 locations worldwide. This growth across three continents gives customers even more options to directly and securely connect to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) from strategic data centre hubs in key international markets, helping enterprises simplify and scale their direct access to GCP wherever they operate.
New GCP locations include:
- Johannesburg, South Africa - Digital Realty MAD2
- Madrid, Spain - Teraco JB1
- Amsterdam, Netherlands - Equinix Amsterdam Schepenbergweg (AM5)
- Las Vegas, United States - Switch
Why these new GCP locations matter
Each of these new locations represents a critical regional touchpoint for businesses building multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments.
- Johannesburg joins the network following Google Cloud’s 2024 launch of its South Africa region. Google stated that the new region will “accelerate the African tech ecosystem, providing organizations with the resources they need to scale, innovate, and compete in the global marketplace.” With Console Connect’s new on-ramp, businesses across Africa can now directly connect to GCP via a secure, high-performance global backbone.
- Madrid is a major European connectivity hub linking Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and marks Console Connect’s first Spanish Google Cloud on-ramp. It offers low-latency access for Southern European users while enabling compliance with local data sovereignty requirements by keeping sensitive workloads and data within national borders.
- Amsterdam continues to be one of Europe’s most strategic data hubs, offering strong infrastructure, renewable energy access, and proximity to major enterprises and internet exchanges. This makes it ideal for businesses requiring high availability, sustainability, and compliance.
- Las Vegas adds to Console Connect’s extensive US footprint, delivering enhanced low-latency access to Google Cloud across the western part of North America. It is an ideal location for gaming, media, and digital enterprises with latency-sensitive workloads.

Connect to Google Cloud with speed and resilience. Console Connect’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform is engineered for high availability, providing multiple redundant paths across its own global network to ensure predictable performance and business continuity.
As a Google Cloud Interconnect Partner, Console Connect extends enterprise-grade reliability to both private and public Google connectivity options.
- Offers redundant physical paths across its private backbone for consistent low-latency performance.
- Ensures high-performance, low-latency routes between enterprise sites and Google Cloud regions.

Simplifying hybrid and multi-cloud strategies
Modern IT environments rarely exist in a single cloud. Console Connect makes it simple to connect Google Cloud to other major providers, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, all through one platform.
This seamless multi-cloud integration allows enterprises to:
- Run workloads across multiple clouds for better performance and redundancy.
- Optimise cloud-to-cloud traffic through low-latency interconnections.
- Manage all connections in real-time from a single intuitive portal or via API.
For businesses embracing hybrid cloud architectures, Console Connect also enables secure, software-defined connectivity between on-premise infrastructure and Google Cloud services – supporting dynamic workloads and digital transformation initiatives.
