Located in the UAE, Cloud HPT is a new entrant to the Middle East's cloud-based IT and business solutions marketplace delivering cloud services to partners and customers.

It is built using the latest technologies from Cisco, NetApp, VMware and Microsoft to ensure high availability and resilience for our partners and customers. Cloud HPT undertook a project to differentiate themselves from other service providers in the region. To achieve this, it required an easily deployable and adaptable cloud orchestration solution with self-service portal capabilities for customers to buy resources as required. When evaluating Flexiant, Cloud HPT was impressed with its experience in helping service providers offer IaaS capabilities and tools to differentiate. It was especially impressed with the speed to market available with such a robust, proven, scalable, and functional solution that comes "out-the-box".
