CloudZigo, a managed cloud platform founded by Abdul Sakhib Mohammed, is being incubated at Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) as it helps businesses run applications across different infrastructure providers.
The Qatar-based company connects to services including AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner and Vultr, as well as custom servers, instead of operating its own hosting infrastructure. Customers retain root access and can choose their providers, server locations and storage.
CloudZigo automates application deployment from GitHub repositories and supports WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, Python, Go and Docker. According to the company, it also handles server hardening, firewalls, software updates, SSL certificates, backups and temporary staging environments. A central dashboard provides visibility into server health and application logs across connected clouds.
The platform is built around a “Bring Your Own Cloud” model, which Mohammed said is intended to reduce vendor lock-in and give businesses more control over their infrastructure, costs and data residency. CloudZigo also combines AI-powered infrastructure management with round-the-clock human support, according to the announcement.
CloudZigo joined QSTP with paying customers and a product already in the market. Mohammed said the park has provided visibility, credibility and access to established organisations and potential acquisition interest in the region.
The founder’s advice to other entrepreneurs is straightforward: focus on a real customer need and secure paying users early.
