Transforming Telecommunications with Cloud Storage: How One Provider Expanded into Digital Services

Telecommunications companies are under pressure to deliver more than connectivity. Government agencies and enterprises now expect secure, compliant, and scalable cloud storage—often with options for on-premises deployment, predictable control, and service flexibility. For many telecom providers, this shift creates a major opportunity: expand beyond traditional offerings and become a full digital services partner.

This story highlights how one regional telecom provider evaluated the market, listened closely to customer demands, and used CentreStack to launch a branded cloud storage service—without rebuilding their infrastructure from scratch.

The challenge: When connectivity isn’t enough anymore

The provider was seeing a consistent pattern in conversations with government and enterprise accounts:

• Data privacy and security requirements were rising fast

• Customers wanted on-premises or hybrid deployment options

• IT teams needed scalability without disruption

• Many requested white-label services that felt “built in-house”

• The provider also needed flexible packaging—starting small and scaling as adoption grew

Traditional storage platforms and generic cloud services often lacked the necessary flexibility or raised concerns regarding data control, customization, language support, and service delivery under the provider’s own brand.

The opportunity: Build a cloud storage service using existing infrastructure

Instead of treating cloud storage as a separate business line requiring massive upfront investment, the provider looked for a way to:

• Leverage existing storage and data center infrastructure

• Add a new recurring revenue service

• Offer a complete solution for regulated and high-security customers

• Maintain ownership of branding, customer experience, and deployment model

In short: they wanted a platform that could help them move from “telecom provider” to “digital infrastructure partner.”

The solution: CentreStack as a white-label, scalable cloud platform

CentreStack stood out because it aligned with both the provider’s commercial goals and their customers’ technical expectations. With CentreStack, they can deliver secure cloud storage and file services while maintaining control over deployment and branding.

Key capabilities that mattered most:

• White-label delivery so the service could be offered under the provider’s brand

• On-premises / private deployment support for customers with strict data sovereignty needs

• Scalable licensing and rollout, allowing them to start small (e.g., a limited initial user count) and expand confidently

• Integration-friendly architecture, enabling expansion into broader services over time

• A complete file access and sharing experience designed for usability and productivity—not just storage

This approach allowed the provider to move quickly: launch a minimum viable offering, validate demand, and then scale the service alongside customer onboarding.

Results: From telecom services to a broader digital portfolio

By integrating CentreStack, the provider positioned itself to deliver more than storage. It enabled a roadmap that could include:

• Secure file sharing for regulated organizations

• Managed cloud storage services under their brand

• Expansion toward virtualized infrastructure and broader “as-a-service” offerings

• A stronger role in customers’ digital transformation initiatives

For their enterprise and government clients, the benefit was straightforward: secure and flexible cloud storage that aligned with operational and compliance requirements—without forcing a one-size-fits-all public cloud model.

Why this matters for the telecom industry

This case reflects a larger industry shift: telecom companies are increasingly expected to provide digital services that support how organizations work today—securely, collaboratively, and at scale.

Cloud storage is no longer “nice to have.” It is becoming part of the baseline expectation for modern service providers, especially in regions and industries where data control and deployment flexibility are non-negotiable.

Conclusion: A practical blueprint for telecom innovation

This story is ultimately about turning customer insight into a scalable offering. By choosing a platform designed for flexibility, white-label delivery, and infrastructure reuse, the provider created a path to expand services, compete more effectively, and deepen relationships with high-value accounts.
