Anant Raj Cloud launched their sovereign-cloud platform named ‘Ashok Cloud’ with an objective to provide tailored, secure, and robust cloud services alongside its data center business to enterprises and public sector undertakings in India.

Orange Business has designed, built, and is now operating multiple services for Anant Raj Cloud’s platform, including setting up a datacenter and cloud infrastructure to efficiently serve multiple customers while ensuring stringent data security and resource isolation. The deployment phase is completed, and ARC (Anant Raj Cloud) has already started onboarding its customers.
With a robust foundation of access controls, encryption mechanisms, and continuous monitoring, the Public Cloud Service provides a secure and scalable platform tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
