Our verdict

Turkcell suits teams that want a domestic carrier cloud in Turkey and size their own servers, with vCPU, RAM and storage billed as they go under the Sanal Veri Merkezi plan. Object storage runs at TRY 0.51 per GB per month in Turkey, though a narrow footprint limits who can lean on it.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Bills on monthly and hourly, so short jobs can be metered by the hour instead of a full month
  • Data center certifications cover Tier III, ISO and PCI DSS
  • Object storage at TRY 0.51 per GB per month, with no separate per-GB egress charge and lifebox data kept out of the internet quota when the lifebox-specific internet package is included with paid plans
  • Carrier-run infrastructure across 4 data center locations in Turkey

Cons

  • Sanal Veri Merkezi meters vCPU in GHz, RAM and storage as you go, so sizing starts from the workload rather than a named plan
  • Support runs on phone and help centre only, leaving chat and email help to the alternatives
  • Footprint is limited to TR with 4 data center locations, so multi-region failover needs a second provider

Who it suits

  • Turkish businesses that need the listed Tier III, ISO and PCI DSS certifications for card and security workloads
  • Teams storing and serving data in one country from 4 data center locations in Turkey
  • Operators who want a carrier-operated cloud and can work with support on phone and help centre

Who should look elsewhere

  • SberCloud, if a published entry plan of 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe is easier to budget than metering each resource
  • Aruba, if a named 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB storage entry plan matters more to you than carrier data center certifications
  • UCloud, if a 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB system disk entry spec and a wider location spread matter for redundancy

Frequently asked questions

What is the entry plan on Turkcell Cloud?+

Sanal Veri Merkezi is metered as you go across vCPU in GHz, RAM and storage, with no fixed plan sizes to choose from. Billing runs on monthly and hourly and the model is hourly, so a small test workload can start without committing to a packaged instance.

How much does object storage cost per month?+

Object storage is billed at TRY 0.51 per GB per month, well above the €0.01 across the brands compared here. The figure comes from the lifebox storage product rather than a general object storage tier.

Is there a charge for data leaving the provider?+

There is no separate per-GB egress charge. With the lifebox-specific internet package included with paid plans, lifebox data does not count against the internet quota, so moving data out of object storage adds no transfer line item.

Where do the servers and storage run?+

Everything sits in Turkey, with 4 data center locations listed. That keeps traffic close to Turkish users, and it also means the footprint is narrower than the 4 seen across compared providers.

What compliance certifications does the data center hold?+

The data center certifications cover Tier III, ISO and PCI DSS. That suits regulated Turkish businesses handling payment card workloads, though the list is shorter than a full cloud provider catalog of security and privacy standards.

How do I reach support?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, so you get a phone line and a help center. Live chat and email are not among the listed channels, which is thinner than the chat and email options most compared providers publish.

Who operates the service?+

The cloud products come from Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S., headquartered in Turkey and founded in 1994. It is a carrier running its own data centers, which explains the telecom-grade certifications attached to the platform.

What product types can I order?+

The server side covers vps, and storage is object. So the catalog is virtual machines plus object storage from one operator, rather than a mix of bare metal, accelerated instances and several storage types.
