Blockchain as a service press release

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Virtual Vision (V2), a premier cloud provider in Saudi Arabia, announces the expansion of its service portfolio with the introduction of Blockchain-as-a-Service (BlaaS) provided by CloudSigma and Red Date Technology. Tailored for the Saudi business landscape, this initiative will solidify V2’s leadership in public cloud services and equip regional enterprises with innovative blockchain solutions.

With a surge of interest from businesses in adopting blockchain technology, the technical complexities and high costs involved in configuring, operating, and managing a blockchain infrastructure can often act as barriers. V2’s BlaaS streamlines the process, allowing businesses to easily create, manage, and operate blockchain applications in its cloud environment. BlaaS simplifies the adoption of blockchain, making it a usable and affordable tool for businesses.

This collaboration follows the successful enablement of the Blockchain-as-a-Service capability powered by Red Date Technology’s RDCloud Software platform into the V2 Cloud in Saudi Arabia. As the first local BlaaS provider in Saudi Arabia, V2’s BlaaS offering is uniquely positioned to revolutionize the region’s digital and economic landscape, empowering dramatic cost reductions—up to 89% in development, 66% in training, and 45% in overall operational expenses—making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. Moreover, V2 stands out in the Saudi market with its strong local presence, which ensures compliance with national regulations and offers customer service tailored to the local business environment, which is further enhanced by V2’s connection to major Saudi telecom providers, ensuring high-speed and secure data transmission across the network.
