In a major milestone for the country’s digital infrastructure, Axentec PLC has officially launched Axentec Cloud, Bangladesh’s first Tier-4 cloud platform fully hosted and operated within the country. The platform is a flagship offering from Axentec PLC, an affiliate of Robi Axiata PLC.

The announcement was made at a press event held today at Axentec’s corporate headquarters in Dhaka, attended by senior journalists and technology editors. The event highlighted the cloud platform’s technical architecture, capabilities, and its strategic importance to the nation’s digital future.

According to the company, Axentec Cloud is the first enterprise-grade cloud platform in Bangladesh to meet Tier-4 standards for reliability, security, and scalability. It is fully managed locally, with a Tier-4 data center located in Jashore and an additional hosting facility in Bhulta. As a result, data sovereignty is fully ensured—providing businesses with complete control over their information while remaining fully compliant with national data policies. This marks a significant step forward for Bangladesh’s digital economy and a major milestone in building indigenous technology capability.

Secretary of the ICT Division, Shish Haider Chowdhury, commended the initiative, saying, “Local cloud infrastructure is not just critical for securing our data—it’s essential for unlocking long-term economic potential. Axentec Cloud is a timely and strategic move. It will attract global business while elevating domestic enterprises. This platform allows organizations to innovate without compromising on compliance or security. It is a new benchmark for Bangladesh’s tech ecosystem.”

Adil Hossain Noble, Managing Director and CEO of Axentec PLC, said, “For years, enterprises in Bangladesh have relied on foreign-hosted cloud platforms, which often raised concerns over data sovereignty, performance, compliance, and cost. Axentec Cloud directly addresses these challenges. It is local, robust, and designed to support the country’s economic growth over the next decade.”
