A deal has been reached for the $350 million acquisition of Pakistan’s largest SAAS (Security as a Service) provider, Cloudways, by Digital Ocean. Cloudways, which caters to the SMB sector, was undoubtedly the apple of any investor’s eye at the time, given the recent buzz around SMB-focused enterprises.

The $350 million acquisition by Digital Ocean has brought about some excellent plans. After acquiring Cloudways, the business will seek to simplify digital operations for small and medium-sized enterprises.
