RapidCompute, Pakistan’s leading cloud service provider celebrated 11 years of providing a #TrueCloudExperience to its customers. An exclusive movie screening was hosted on May 27th, Friday at Nueplex cinemas for Rapid’s employees, partners, and customers. All colleagues and customers came together for a networking session, followed by an award ceremony to appreciate employees for their longstanding service. Rapid is Pakistan’s first Enterprise-Class public cloud computing platform. It took off 11 years ago, when the world looked a lot different. A time when cell phones could just be used for calling and movies were only available on DVDs. In its first year of business, its very first customer was Engro, who deployed a single instance worth USD 70 only. Abdul Rehman Paracha, Senior Manager IS at Engro back then, expressed his delight at the occasion and said, “It gives me great joy to see Rapid come so far. I have been their customer since their inception. Thank you so much for the invite, really enjoyed the movie and the event was impressive.” He is now heading Silverlake in Pakistan. Rapid has paved the way for unlimited computing potential by introducing cloud computing in Pakistan with capabilities that allowed for faster innovation, better price, performance, and enhanced security. Rapid supports more security standards and compliance certifications than any other Pakistani cloud service provider, with ever-broadening compute, storage, memory, and networking options. “Thank you for the invitation and your hospitality. We had loads of fun and all your arrangements were spot on,” Ejaz Hassan, CEO, Wemsol stated, delighted, and equally pleased after attending the event.

StormFiber has been rapidly expanding its Fiber to the Home (FTTH) footprint to provide superior quality broadband to the far reaches of the country. In its latest move, the broadband service provider has added three more cities including Gujrat, Abbottabad, and Okara to its fiber-optic coverage, taking its tally of fiberized cities to eighteen. The strong wave of digitization across the globe has compelled consumers to shift from copper-based to fiber-optic-based connectivity. This technology offers high bandwidth, scalability, and reliability, which are essential to meet the dependencies on an internet connection in today’s day and age. StormFiber has been at the forefront in its movement toward digitizing Pakistan through fiberization and currently stands as the country’s fastest-growing fiber-optic brand. Abbottabad – The City of SchoolsLocated at the heart of the famous Hazara Belt, Abbottabad serves as a critical transit point to various major tourist regions such as Nathia Gali, Naran, and Ayubia. Besides being a famous travel destination, the city also hosts several outstanding academic institutions and is often referred to as the city of schools. The availability of ultra-fast broadband will enable the citizens of Abbottabad to access global opportunities, thereby leveraging their talent to its full potential. Gujrat – The City of ValorSurrounded by cities such as Sialkot and Gujranwala, Gujrat is a central part of the golden triangle of the export economy of Pakistan. The city contributes over 98% of electrical fan manufacturing across Pakistan. The trio has been significantly contributing to the improvement of the country’s balance of trade, which is expected to accelerate through access to reliable broadband service. Okara -The City of AgricultureKnown for its fertile lands, Okara is a major contributor to the potato, tomato, sugarcane, rice, wheat, and maize produce of the country. The city holds a vital position in the agricultural sector of Pakistan and is home to fruit orchards of some of the renowned companies. StormFiber’s expansion to Okara is expected to provide greater access to digital market spaces that would propel the growth of agri-based businesses in the city. Speaking on the expansion, Fawad Laher, Managing Director, StormFiber, said, “When we started our journey of StormFiber, we had made a commitment of providing superior quality broadband services to the citizens of Pakistan, which they truly deserve.” “Expansion to these cities testify our resolution and InshaAllah, with our team’s sheer dedication and relentless efforts, we will keep striving to further our mission,” he added. Maroof Ali Shahani, COO, Cybernet, stated, “Our expansions to Gujrat, Abbottabad, and Okara are strongly aligned with our strategic mission of fiberizing the far-reaches of Pakistan.” “With the speed of digitization in the global arena, it is time Pakistan also makes high strides in this direction. Accessibility to ultra-fast broadband is pivotal to a country’s economic growth and we commit to playing our role in all possible ways in this journey,” he added. StormFiber is currently providing its fiber-optic broadband service in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Multan, Gujranwala, Quetta, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Sialkot, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur, and Wah. Some sources have also hinted at possible expansion to Rahim Yar Khan, Jhelum, Sukkur, Larkana, Haripur, Mingora, and some other cities later this year. Share now on Social Media:
