Clear answers before you decide.

PortvMind Cloud is Türkiye's sovereign cloud platform operated by vMind. It delivers IaaS/PaaS with data sovereignty, data centers in Türkiye and an open-source-based infrastructure, providing many cloud services on a pay-as-you-go model, including Compute (virtual servers), Block Storage, VKE (managed Kubernetes), S3-compatible Object Storage, Load Balancer, Floating IP, Router, Network Data Transfer and Backup. In short: Türkiye's cloud.

Sovereign cloud means managing data residency, legal jurisdiction and operational control within a defined country scope. PortvMind Cloud delivers this model on infrastructure located in Türkiye and operated by vMind. The published regions are Istanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01).

PortvMind Cloud is operated by vMind Information Technologies, founded in 2013. Dedicated resources provide cloud infrastructure for your organisation on PortvMind Cloud. vMind also offers hybrid cloud, multi-cloud and managed services.

Your data is stored on PortvMind Cloud infrastructure located in Türkiye. The published regions are Istanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01).

PortvMind Cloud uses a pay-as-you-go model with per-minute billing. Total cost depends on resource type, selected configuration, storage, network and runtime. Current unit prices are in the console and at calculator.portvmind.com.

Yes. Email is verified when you join, and phone and card verification finish automatically at sign-in. A $45 free usage allowance is then added and the account is ready to use. The allowance applies to every service. It is not a credit or a fee, and it cannot be transferred or refunded. When it is used up, the account moves to standard pay-as-you-go.

Email verification applies at sign-up, and phone and card verification apply at sign-in. Card verification takes a 1 TL / 1 USD charge and refunds it. The steps are shown in the console.

Security, business-continuity and privacy certificates are issued to vMind Information Technologies. Current documents are on the vMind certificate page. KVKK and sector obligations are completed through your organisation’s own legal and security assessment.

Yes. PortvMind Cloud Object Storage offers S3-compatible access. Endpoints and credentials are created in the console. Compatibility covers the supported bucket and object API operations.

VKE (vMind Kubernetes Engine) is an open-source Kubernetes engine project developed by vMind. It automatically provides conveniences such as node-level autoscaling, load balancers and storage classes. You can create clusters from the console, with Terraform or through the API.

VKE provides managed Kubernetes: node-level autoscaling, Load Balancer and storage classes come automatically. Applications, images, secrets, network policies, data protection and observability stay in your layer. The responsibility split is set out in the product documentation and service terms.

VKE offers selectable Kubernetes versions on the cluster creation screen. Version and upgrade options are in the console and the VKE documentation.

VKE automatically provides load balancers for Kubernetes services and storage classes for persistent data. Protect stateful workloads with Block Storage and Backup.

GPU servers are offered on Compute, with H100, H200 and L40S options. VKE provides Kubernetes clusters with node-level autoscaling, Load Balancer and storage classes.

Cost is set by the control-plane model, worker-node count and CPU/RAM profiles, persistent storage, Load Balancer, public IPs, data transfer, backup and runtime. The line items are in calculator.portvmind.com and the console resource creation screen.

Evaluate object storage when an application can read and write data by bucket and object key rather than through an attached disk. Media, static assets, logs, archives, backup packages and datasets are typical candidates. Block storage may be a better fit for operating-system disks, database files or frequent random block updates.

Object storage manages data in buckets by object key and metadata through an API. Block storage attaches a disk-like volume to a server so the operating system can run a filesystem or database on it. The right choice depends more on access, update and latency needs than on capacity alone.

You access buckets and objects through an S3-compatible API. Endpoints and credentials are created in the console. Supported operations are in the documentation.

Copy your existing buckets to PortvMind Cloud Object Storage with S3-compatible tools. Endpoints and credentials are created in the console.

VPS and virtual server are market terms for virtual-server packages. On PortvMind Cloud that need is Compute: you create servers from the console or API and pay as you go.

Web, database and AI workloads need different resources. Choose a profile in the console and grow the server as demand grows.

Move your application, disk and DNS records to PortvMind Cloud Compute. Try it on a test server first, then complete the cutover.

Backup protects virtual-server instances, Block Storage volumes and Kubernetes PVC resources. Schedule, retention and restore target are configured in the console for each resource type.

A snapshot is a point-in-time image of your volume, used for a fast rollback. Backup schedules and stores copies of your servers, volumes and Kubernetes PVC resources and restores them from the panel.

You set backup frequency and retention. Restore starts from the panel; the time depends on data size and the point you select. Service levels are in the SLA and the contract.

Restore the backup you select from the panel. Confirm the application starts and the data is in place.

Yes. PortvMind Cloud offers GPU servers for AI/ML training, inference and compute-intensive workloads. The options are H100, H200 and L40S.

Start with model memory needs, data volume and target runtime. Training and inference may need different resource profiles. Compare the options, test with your own workload and review the results with the team to choose capacity.

After creating your server in the console, install a GPU driver compatible with your operating system and the dependencies your application needs. For Ubuntu, follow the NVIDIA driver installation guide on Discuss. Start with a small dataset to check the setup, memory use and runtime.

GPU server cost varies by GPU model and count, CPU/RAM, storage, network usage and runtime. Configure current options in the PortvMind Cloud cost calculator or consult the expert team for a custom workload.

Yes. By creating an Application Credential through the panel, you can generate secure credentials for your Terraform and API workflows. You can manage your resources, including VKE, with Terraform using the Infrastructure as Code approach. The Project ID and Project Name needed for automation are available in the panel profile menu.

PortvMind Cloud provides 24/7 technical support. Support channels are in the console. Community and release announcements are published on discuss.portvmind.com.

It suits a wide range from start-ups to mature enterprises: e-commerce and web/mobile applications facing sudden traffic spikes during campaigns, AI/ML and data analytics projects, rapid Prod/Dev/test/QA environments, and microservice-based modern architectures. It is an especially strong option for finance, public sector and healthcare organizations that need sovereign cloud and data sovereignty - Türkiye's cloud.

Enable multi-factor authentication, do not share personal accounts, and use narrowly scoped Application Credentials instead of user passwords for automation.

Create an account in the console, complete email, phone and card verification, then open your first virtual server in Compute. Use calculator.portvmind.com to plan the cost.
