Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest telecommunications operator, has announced the launch of its own cloud service for Ukrainian business users – Kyivstar Cloud.
“It is available to small, medium and large businesses, as well as public sector organizations,” the company said in a release on Tuesday.
According to Ilya Poltakov, Kyivstar’s director of new business development, the company sees a strong business demand for affordable solutions and believes that the new platform will enable customers to optimize IT infrastructure costs and scale their business quickly and securely.
According to the release, Kyivstar Cloud can be easily scaled. It has an affordable price, no traffic billing due to local placement, and supports hybrid and multi-cloud models: it can be combined with public and private clouds from different providers, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services.
It is also noted that Kyivstar Cloud will provide an opportunity to independently create and administer a server, virtual machines, an environment for remote access to programs, host CRM, ERP and other systems, store company data, deploy or test software, etc.
According to the report, Kyivstar Cloud is built on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) edge-to-cloud servers.
“In the future, Kyivstar Cloud can become not only a business service but also a part of nationwide solutions for e-government, medical systems, educational platforms and other digital infrastructure services,” the release says.
“As of March 2025, Kyivstar served about 22.7 million mobile subscribers and more than 1.1 million Home Internet subscribers. The company provides services using a wide range of mobile and fixed technologies, including 4G, Big Data, Cloud solutions, cybersecurity services, digital TV, etc. and has declared investments in new telecom technologies in 2023-2027 of $1 billion.
