KUALA LUMPUR — Altel Communications (ALTEL), a member of the Tradewinds Group Malaysia, has launched Altel Cloud, a locally domiciled, industry-fit cloud platform designed to support Malaysia’s data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and enterprise performance requirements.
Positioned as a domestic alternative to global hyperscale cloud providers, Altel Cloud is built to support organisations operating in regulated and mission-critical environments, in line with national data residency requirements and the Government’s Cloud First Policy.

The platform’s industry-fit approach is shaped by the operational needs of Tradewinds Group Malaysia’s businesses across sectors including automotive, ports, utilities, plantations, logistics, engineering, banking, property, and technology. Altel Cloud offers end-to-end capabilities covering solution design, integration, migration, and managed services, allowing organisations to tailor cloud environments to specific operational and compliance needs.
Altel Cloud supports private and edge cloud deployments and operates from Tier III data centres in Cyberjaya and Kuala Lumpur, with direct domestic connectivity via the Malaysian Internet Exchange (MyIX), delivering low latency and high availability for enterprise workloads.
The platform is also integrated with Altel Group’s wider capabilities, including AI-enabled cybersecurity, satellite connectivity for rural and industrial backhaul, and industrial digital solutions.

The launch was officiated by YB Datuk Wilson Ugak Anak Kumbong, Deputy Minister of Digital.
Commenting on the launch, En. Mohamad Helmi Harith, Group Chief Executive Officer of Altel Group, said enterprise cloud adoption is entering a more mature phase.
“The next frontier of digital maturity is defined by a shift from sheer scale to a focus on rightsizing, compliance, and deterministic performance,” he said. “Altel Cloud is designed to reflect the regulatory and operational realities faced by Malaysian organisations.”
