In the world, especially in the last 8-10 years, successful startups born from innovative ideas with a focus on technology continue to shape the business world and the lives of individuals and leave their mark in their sectors. In Turkey, startups that offer important technologies in different fields in the startup ecosystem attract attention with their success and growth rates. Founded in 2015 to provide cloud technologies to organizations with an innovative approach, Bulutistan achieved significant success in a short time. In the 5th year of its establishment, Bulutistan was ranked as the fastest growing technology company of the last 5 years in Turkey in Deloitte's research, the 17th fastest growing technology company in the EMEA region in the same research, and the company that added innovation to digital transformation between 2019-2020 by IBM. While the company continues on its way with volume growth every year, it closed the financial year 2021, which it completed on January 31, with a growth of more than 200 percent.

Introducing Innovative Cloud Service to the World
Bulutistan Co-Founder Begim Başlıgil emphasized that they are the only company providing PaaS services in Turkey and said, "The number of customers who prefer our innovative service approach that breaks the mold in the field of cloud technologies has exceeded 500. Today, one out of every two of Turkey's 1000 largest companies is a Bulutistan customer. We have achieved a significant growth of more than 200 percent in line with our being the choice of the best. We currently have 138 business partners and our rapid growth is thanks to our business partners. Through our business partners, we have gained new customers from many countries and exported technology. Another big partner in this success is our expert team. From 60 employees at the beginning of 2021, our headcount has increased to 120 as of February 2022, and we want to employ a total of 200 experts by the end of this year. In addition, we have set our growth target for this year as 300 percent. The most important factor that will feed this target will be the clear steps we will take within the scope of our globalization vision. We have set our targets and made applications, first for the CIS, then Eastern Europe, then the Gulf, then the center of Europe and the UK. We will open our offices in these regions step by step."

Enterprises Want Freedom, High Quality and Security in Cloud Services
In technical terms, Bulutistan offers technology to its customers with both Intel and Power architecture. In addition, the high level of service continuity (SLA) promised and the specialization only in cloud technology differentiate the company from its competitors. "Bulutistan addresses today's expectations of customers with its innovative free approach and high quality service" said Begim Başlıgil and continued his speech as follows: "In our sector, we offer no-commitment contracts and the freedom to exit the contract at any time. One of the advantageous features of Bulutistan is that our 'pay-as-you-go' model charges our customers according to how much they use the cloud service. On the other hand, when it comes to the cloud, issues such as data storage and security are among the main issues. However, users want to be sure that their data is well stored. Bulutistan has services as Public Cloud, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud. Private Cloud service can be defined as the customer receiving cloud service from dedicated sources in a dedicated WLAN (local network) behind a dedicated firewall. Within this isolated structure, the risk of attack from both outside and inside the data center is minimized. Our customers mostly prefer this service. Since 2015, we have continued to grow day by day. While this was going on, we provided an uninterrupted service to our customers who preferred to work with us with an SLA rate of 99.9 percent. We continue this discourse this year. Customer experience is very important for Bulutistan. For this reason, we attach great importance to growth without compromising customer experience. In addition, security in the Cloud is more important than ever for us. We have not experienced any data loss to date. We continue to provide our customers with high standard service in this area as well."
