“vMind’s Goal Is to Become a Global Turkish Cloud Brand” KOBİ Efor Magazine Interview

“‘I am a visionary entrepreneur, a determined leader, and a reliable business partner,’ says vMind CEO Volkan Duman, whose life motto is: ‘Use technology not only to build today, but to build the future with confidence.’ Duman explains that their focus for 2025 is to double their capacity, open new disaster recovery centers, grow their technical teams by 25%, and achieve +1 market share in Türkiye: ‘In the long term, our goal is to become a Turkish cloud brand that can compete with hyperscalers and deliver sustainable growth through AI-ready infrastructure, GPU pools, and an open-source-based product strategy.’”

vMind, advancing with the goal of becoming a Turkish cloud brand extending from Türkiye to the global market, is among the notable players in the sector. vMind CEO Volkan Duman says, “We position vMind not merely as a cloud provider, but as a strategic technology partner that builds the backbone of Türkiye’s digital transformation. With our portvMind Public and Private Cloud solutions, open-source-based Kubernetes Engine, vRPMiner SaaS automation, and end-to-end managed services (24/7 monitoring, ISO 27001-compliant SOC, backup and disaster recovery, business continuity, database and security layers), we provide services to more than 1,000 organizations across 26 sectors. With our single-contract–single-SLA approach, we eliminate complexity and increase our customers’ operational efficiency.”

Emphasizing that they do not merely sell infrastructure to their customers, Duman states that they assume full IT responsibility under a single contract and single SLA through an end-to-end ownership model; and that they accelerate companies’ digital transformation journeys with local data hosting, 24/7 Turkish-language support, flexible pricing, and regulatory compliance.

Volkan Duman explains their vision and future goals as follows:
“Our vision is to offer the quality and trust we have proven in Türkiye at the same standards on a regional and global scale, becoming not only our country’s but also the region’s trusted cloud harbor. We closed 2024 with stable growth; in the last quarter, we realized nearly half of our annual revenue. Our focus for 2025 is to double our capacity, open new disaster recovery centers, grow our technical team by 25%, and achieve +1 market share in Türkiye. In this process, we signed a strategic partnership with AnkaMind to strengthen the dealer and channel structure of our portvMind cloud solutions. In the medium term, we aim for data center investments in EMEA, business partnerships in META, and to generate 20% of our global market revenue from exports. In the long term, we aim to become a Turkish cloud brand that can compete with hyperscalers and deliver sustainable growth through AI-ready infrastructure, GPU pools, and an open-source-based product strategy.”
