A reminder of the growing emphasis from governments on ensuring that local data stays within their borders comes from Azerbaijan, where edge AI, cloud, network, and security solutions provider Gcore has announced a strategic partnership with state-owned service provider AzInTelecom.
The collaboration will focus on developing sovereign cloud services that offer advanced protection and full compliance with Azerbaijan's data regulations.
The Gcore and AzInTelecom collaboration aims to roll out sovereign, low-latency cloud infrastructure across Azerbaijan.
Through the strategic partnership, says Gcore, the sovereign cloud will accelerate digital transformation projects for both businesses and government institutions in Azerbaijan, supporting the country's vision for technological innovation and data sovereignty.
Within the framework of this collaboration, the parties say they have recently started offering reliable cloud solutions to users.
Under this partnership, the AzInCloud platform, as it is known, will provide an expanded suite of cloud services equipped with modern tools. The live platform will offer users easy management, a wide selection of operating systems, a cloud marketplace, real-time monitoring services, and other advantages.
AzInCloud operates as a public cloud service based on a pay-as-you-use model. The portal is accessible to everyone, including legal entities, small and medium-sized businesses, individual entrepreneurs, and individuals.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Luxembourg, Gcore manages an extensive global network consisting of more than 180 edge nodes across six continents and including more than 50 cloud locations. The partnership with AzInTelecom in the field of cloud technologies marks a first for Gcore in the region.
AzInTelecom is a state-owned company operating under Azerbaijan's Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. It provides cloud services, data storage, and cybersecurity solutions to businesses, government bodies and individuals.
