Add-ons · Cloud
Your office, a Bangladesh data centre or an in-country cloud.
Super Intelligence (SI) runs on one server, and that server needs a home that is legal, powered and cool. The Cloud add-on settles where, for the SI server and for your other systems, before any hardware is ordered.
Where it starts
Three questions every board asks
Boards ask three questions about hosting: where may our data sit, can we use cloud at all, and what will it cost. Bangladesh Bank's cloud guideline (March 2023) keeps customers' financial data out of cross-border public or hybrid clouds without the central bank's prior approval. The Personal Data Protection Act 2026 limits sending certain identifiers and biometric data abroad. The large global clouds have no public region in Bangladesh; the nearest are in Mumbai and Singapore.
So the answer is rarely 'move everything'. It is a placement for each workload: your office, a Bangladesh data centre, an in-country cloud, a nearby region where the rule allows, or a mix.
For Bahlul SI
What it does for the product
The smallest review covers a planned SI server and the systems it reads from. For each candidate place it checks power, cooling, UPS, rack space and access, and costs the options over three and five years. No hardware is ordered until the site check passes or you choose a Bangladesh data centre.
Power matters more than people expect. A UPS sized for the configuration carries the server through a power cut and shuts it down cleanly if the power stays off, and the largest configuration needs a generator as well. The review says what your server room can and cannot carry.
A person still decides. Your approver records the hosting decision, you hold the contract with the data centre or cloud provider in your own name, and any regulator approval is your application, with our evidence attached.

Sold on its own
The whole estate, not only the SI server
A review of the whole estate takes two weeks for up to 40 servers and 15 workloads on one main site, or three weeks for up to 120 servers or 40 workloads, or a second site. You get a workload inventory, a residency screen for every workload, placement options, a path for each workload, cost of ownership over three and five years, the risks, a roadmap, a 45-minute board briefing and the filled workbook.
A migration project moves the workloads the review has screened: plan, prepare the landing zone, pilot, migrate in waves, cut over with a rollback plan, then hypercare, with written procedures and a trained team at the end. Managed cloud then covers monitoring, patching, backups, a monthly cost report and a monthly review of the workloads you run in a data centre or cloud; you keep your own account and pay the provider directly. Running the SI server itself is SI support or managed SI operations, not managed cloud.
Who delivers
The hosting review team
A cloud and platform engineer leads the review on site, and the architect who designs the SI server configurations reviews the placement and the site check. Partners are a cloud reseller that bills in taka and an in-country data centre; you contract with them directly. A partner law firm reads the residency rules before they reach you.
No review has been delivered yet. The first is planned for October 2027, and its timings and effort are a plan to test. We say so rather than quote experience we do not have.
FAQ
Questions we are asked
Can our SI server sit in a data centre instead of our office?
Yes. A Bangladesh data centre is one of the three standard places, with the server still yours and the data still in the country. The review checks the data centre's terms for hosting your own server: rack, power, cooling, access and remote hands.
Do we have to move to the cloud?
No. The review stands alone: it settles where each workload may sit, and 'stay where it is' is a valid answer. Where a regulator's approval is needed, nothing moves before it is in writing.
Who pays the data centre or cloud provider?
You do, directly and in taka, with the contract in your name. Our fee covers our work only; we hold no stock and resell nothing.
Decide where the server sits before you order it
Bring your network diagram, your asset list and twelve months of ICT costs. In two to three weeks you will have a placement for every workload and a site check for the SI server.
