Islamabad— Pakistan’s cloud sector is growing rapidly due to telecom and tech company expansion. These new services enable enterprises improve scalability, security, and efficiency without maintaining their own data centers.

Data infrastructure and connectivity make telecom businesses leaders in the cloud revolution. PTCL Cloud is a major player in infrastructure, software, and disaster recovery. PTCL uses its statewide fiber network to provide high-security, low-latency services from tier-III data centers in cities.
Also notable is Zong Cloud, which uses AI to improve security and innovation. Zong has offered “future-ready innovation” to meet changing client needs, according to a senior official.
Jazz Cloud targets SMEs, startups, and large companies. Its data centers host applications securely and provide disaster recovery. Jazz’s cloud services approach has reduced SMS and calling losses.
Huawei & Khazana Enterprise Cloud offers Pakistan’s first hyper-scale financial cloud platform, keeping financial data in the nation for regulatory compliance. This $10 million-invested platform launched in 2023 prepares itself for expansion as the country moves to 5G.
Government-focused cloud services from NTC and SCO are also helping.
Cloud platforms are becoming more popular among enterprises seeking efficiency and cost savings. Local regulatory backing is crucial to lessen Pakistan’s dependency on international hosting services and develop a self-sustaining cloud economy, say experts. New investments and infrastructure will help the cloud industry lead the nation’s digital transformation.
