NIPA Cloud Sovereign Cloud Platform

Nipa Cloud is the cloud brand of NIPA Technology, a Thai company established in 1996 that started as a digital marketing agency and later moved into cloud computing. It offers a locally owned alternative to global hyperscalers for Thai organizations that need data to stay inside the country and comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

The platform is built on OpenStack, Ceph and Tungsten Fabric, with the in-house NIPA Cloud Platform portal and a pay-as-you-go billing system. The IaaS line includes NIPA Cloud Space for public cloud, NIPA Cloud Enterprise and NIPA Cloud Hybrid. PaaS services cover containers, Kubernetes clusters, SQL databases, load balancing and S3-compatible object storage, plus VMware migration, managed services and disaster recovery. Customers are Thai enterprises and digital businesses.

• NIPA Cloud Space: Public cloud for virtual machines and containers provisioned on demand from a web portal.
• Enterprise and hybrid cloud: Dedicated enterprise cloud and hybrid options that connect on-premise systems.
• Managed PaaS: SQL database, Kubernetes cluster, load balancing and S3-compatible object storage in one portal.
• VMware migration: Live migration of VMware workloads with Hystax tooling and free consultation.
• Disaster recovery and backup: Backup and recovery services across multiple availability zones.
• Hybrid connectivity: MPLS Connect, WireGuard MeshVPN, IPSec site-to-site and SSL VPN links.

A Vietnamese company expanding into Thailand can host customer data locally to meet PDPA requirements. A Vietnamese cloud provider can partner on OpenStack operations know-how for sovereign cloud offerings. A manufacturer with Thai plants can move VMware workloads to a local cloud with disaster recovery.

Data stays in Thailand on infrastructure owned by a Thai entity, which supports PDPA compliance. The provider states up to 99.99% uptime across 4 availability zones with full redundancy. Domestic bandwidth is free with unlimited upload and download, and billing is on demand with cancel-anytime terms. Support is available 24/7 from local engineers.

Data sovereignty rules such as Thailand's PDPA and Vietnam's data protection decree push regulated organizations toward clouds hosted and owned locally. Rising VMware licensing costs are also driving migration to OpenStack-based platforms, while demand grows for GPU capacity for AI inside national borders.
