Bangladesh’s Digital Leap with a Sovereign Public Cloud

In an exciting development for Bangladesh’s digital landscape, Mirantis and Pico Public Cloud, a branch of Fiber@Home, have joined forces to launch the nation’s first sovereign public cloud. This bold move meets the rising demand for data security and digital independence in the area.

Currently, local businesses predominantly depend on global giants like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. While these providers are well-established, they come with their set of obstacles: costly services, data residency issues, and currency exchange hurdles. Pico Public Cloud aims to change this narrative by delivering a multi-site public cloud service customized for Bangladesh. It focuses on making data handling local, offering services in the Bengali language, and ensuring transactions in the local currency to bring cloud services closer to home.

Empowering Local Enterprises with Localized Solutions

The collaboration highlights key goals such as data sovereignty and streamlined operations that align with the specific needs of Bangladesh’s businesses. As strategic account director Srinivas Tadigadapa from Mirantis points out, such initiatives reflect a global shift toward nations taking control over their digital infrastructures.

Pico Public Cloud, utilizing Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes, promises enhanced features designed for local sectors including finance and healthcare. This multi-tenant infrastructure offers secure, efficient cloud services for domestic needs. Chairman Moynul H. Siddiqui of Fiber@Home envisions this as a step toward secure cloud access for government and businesses. With Myanmar’s connectivity powered by Banglalink and housed in Felicity IDC’s secure data centers, Bangladesh is set to transform its digital future, gaining both access and control over its data journey.
