TÜRKSAT's statement said that the domestic cloud platform “Türksat Bulut”, which represents a strategic step towards digital sovereignty, was launched with a ceremony.
The statement stated that TÜRKSAT AŞ Chairman Kemal Yüksek, TÜRKSAT AŞ Managing Director Ahmet Hamdi Atalay and DT Cloud Chief Executive Officer Tolga Dinçer attended the ceremony and announced that the “Domestic Cloud Services Cooperation Protocol” prepared within the framework of the program was signed.
The statement said that the protocol allows all digital infrastructure needs of public institutions and the private sector, including cloud storage, big data analytics, artificial intelligence applications, container-based application platforms and critical workloads, to be met through infrastructure developed with domestic resources and with high security standards.
The statement emphasized that Türksat Bulut, implemented with the OpenStack-based open source architecture, provides high security, flexible computing power and horizontal-vertical scalability, and that the domestic infrastructure, which integrates access, storage and processing layers with end-to-end security principles, provides a fully sovereign cloud environment for enterprise and critical workloads.
The statement pointed out that through this collaboration, Türkiye's strategic data within the country's borders will be protected by local, secure and scalable cloud infrastructure, and used the following expressions:
“The platform, which features manageable Kubernetes services, advanced container orchestration and artificial intelligence-focused resource management, enables uninterrupted and high-performance operation of critical applications with a 99.9 percent high availability guarantee. Türksat Bulut, developed entirely domestically, secures the data within Turkey's borders and brings institutions' digital transformation processes to a strategic level with operational efficiency and sustainable cost structure.”
“We do not limit our vision to Türkiye”
In his speech at the ceremony, Yüksek explained that Türksat Bulut is the product of a four to five-year preparation process and represents a critical threshold in terms of digital independence, and made the following assessment:
“Türksat Bulut is a very important stage for our independence. Our first goal is to offer an approach that minimizes the technical staffing needs of organizations by integrating the capacities of our data centers into the system. However, we do not limit our vision only to Turkey, but we want to expand it to about 40 to 50 countries that cooperate with us in this century. We attach great importance to building the software structure that is completely domestic and national. By combining this structure with the collaborations and R&D studies “With our universities we will create a technological difference that goes beyond existing alternatives.” We will create something.
Atalay, General Manager of TÜRKSAT AŞ, also pointed out that domestic cloud technology is crucial to Türkiye's digital independence, pointing out that the protocol completes a crucial step to ensure that Türkiye's data remains in Türkiye.
Atalay emphasized that Türksat Cloud is not just a storage area but a strategic technology that protects Türkiye's digital future, saying, “Thanks to this collaboration, we have implemented a flexible, scalable and, most importantly, a local and national architecture,” he said.
Tolga Dinçer, CEO of DT Cloud, noted that the protocol is not just a technology cooperation, but a strategic threshold for positioning Türkiye in the era of artificial intelligence and big data with domestic resources.
