Turkish Local Cloud Solutions
IaaS, PaaS and hybrid cloud that keeps your data in Turkish data centers and supports your KVKK processes.
A local cloud delivers compute, storage, networking and platform services on a cloud model from data centers located in Turkey. You get elastic, pay-as-you-use infrastructure while your data physically stays in the country. Pedante Bilişim, Racoun’s technology arm, provides the infrastructure of expert solution partners under the Racurity brand with a single point of contact, and designs, migrates and operates the environment.
Who it is for
Public sector bodies and their suppliers, banks, payment and insurance companies subject to regulators such as BDDK and SPK, healthcare organizations processing special-category data, and SaaS vendors whose enterprise customers ask where their data is stored.
Why it matters
Turkey’s data protection law, KVKK, makes cross-border transfers of personal data subject to specific conditions and safeguards. Keeping data in Turkey simplifies that assessment, but location alone does not equal compliance: access control, encryption, logging, retention and deletion still matter. We support your compliance process on the technical side and recommend legal advice for the legal assessment.
Scope
- IaaS: virtual servers, block and object storage, virtual networks, firewalls, load balancers.
- PaaS: managed databases and container platforms.
- Hybrid: encrypted site-to-site links between your server room and the local cloud.
- Backup and DR: an in-country off-site copy that fits the 3-2-1 rule.
- Security: segmentation, least-privilege roles, MFA, encryption at rest and in transit, central logging.
Migration follows inventory and data classification, architecture design, a pilot, phased cutover with a rollback plan, and ongoing operations. Because Racoun’s software, infrastructure and security teams work under one roof, application changes, backups and security monitoring are handled in the same project.
Frequently asked questions
Does a local cloud make us KVKK compliant?
Not on its own. It simplifies cross-border transfer questions, but technical and organizational measures are still required. We support the process technically.
Can we combine our on-premises servers with the local cloud?
Yes, through encrypted site-to-site connectivity, which also enables phased migration.
