AIS has made headlines with the launch of Thailand’s first hyperscale cloud platform, fully operated by a local company. This major development highlights AIS’s commitment to digital transformation within Thailand, providing citizens and businesses with modernized operations under local legal and regulatory frameworks.
In collaboration with Oracle, the service known as “AIS Cloud” is not just a technical upgrade. It’s an effort to enhance data governance and ensure storage remains within Thai borders. This ensures data sovereignty, aligns with national cybersecurity laws, and decreases reliance on foreign services.
In an era where AI, machine learning, and big data are becoming increasingly pivotal, computing solutions like the AIS Cloud are essential. Enterprises can leverage scalable computing power for next-generation workloads, reducing data transfer risks and maintaining policy compliance. AIS’s strategy underscores that Thai-operated infrastructure is a cornerstone for its digital evolution.
The initiative isn’t just technologically forward. AIS has attained the highest dSURE 3-Star certification by the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA). This marks a triumph in security and service standards for local cloud solutions. Moreover, AIS Cloud simplifies cloud adoption for domestic businesses with Thai-language contracts, local currency billing, and local-language support.
Chief Enterprise Business Officer Phupa Akavipat highlighted, “We firmly believe that Thailand must have its own AI capabilities to ensure long-term technological sovereignty and resilience.”
